Thomas Tuchel Appointed England Manager

Thomas Tuchel has been appointed as the new manager of the England football team, succeeding Gareth Southgate. His tenure follows a tumultuous period at Bayern Munich, where he was sacked after a trophyless season, leading to mixed feelings about his capabilities. Uli Hoeneß, the former president of Bayern, criticized Tuchel as a 'disaster', questioning his style of play and team management during his time at the club. Despite concerns from figures like Gary Neville regarding the implications of hiring a foreign coach for English football, others like Michael Owen and Prince William have expressed support for Tuchel's appointment. As Tuchel prepares to lead England into a new era, questions remain about the impact of his coaching style on players like Trent Alexander-Arnold, who may face competition from those he previously favored, like Reece James. Tuchel's contract, worth £5 million a year, will run for 18 months, potentially culminating in the 2026 World Cup.
