A Jerry? Whatever next. However probably better than the hapless Carsley. He doesn't seem to stay long anywhere, which could be an issue in this job.

A good appointment IMO and one of the top managers who were available.

Certainly someone who could take us over the line in a tournament.

 

[holdsteady]

Good manager but the bigger football nations should have a manager who is of that nationality, you don’t see the Germans appointing someone who isn’t German.

Didn't wear a suit to an FA Cup final.
That's.....my deep dive strategic analysis.

In defence of Carsley, he changed line up and formation in the Nations League, exactly where you should be experimenting.

And so it begins...

Can you name an English manager that has won more in the game than Tuchel who could do the England job?

I thought Graham Potter might be a good choice, maybe he binned us off. If you insist on someone English you’d probably end up with someone like Gary O’Neil.

That because they have a lot of great managers. We don’t have any

 

[Eric Blair]

He’s just keeping the seat warm before Des takes over

 

[Belgium Yellow]

He's been an excellent club manger who has come unstuck when club directors have interfered. So hopefully that's irrelevant now.
As to those wanting Pep, it would have been same old England. He chokes when it comes to the big one-off matches.
I'd have been ok with Howe or Potter because they are English. But there's no denying that Tuchel is way more impressive on paper.

Thought St Georges Park was meant to develop English coaches? Clearly hasn't worked as planned.

It's fine for developing nations outside the top 30 of Fifa's rankings to appoint managers/coaches from other countries to help develop them and level the playing field. But there should be a rule for top 30 nations stopping them from appointing coaches that aren't from that country. If a country can't develop coaches as well as players then it's their problem. This would ensure a focus on coach development which the FA have clearly failed in as this appointment shows.

Doesn't matter a damn if our top clubs don't give English managers a chance, I'm not sure how you can blame the FA. Has an English manager ever won the Premier League? Don't think they have, I think Howard Wilkinson was the last to win the league, before the EPL was formed.

Not really my point, it’s international football, apart from the minnows you should have to pick a manager of the same nationality of the country.

I don’t know that I’m too bothered about this. But it would make it more interesting if managers had to meet the same qualifications as players to represent their country.

What had Low or Vogts as examples won in club management before they got the German national team job?

It was pretty much an unspoken rule for years and a lot of the other big countries still keep to it, we are just more desperate than them.

England team should be English manager why don't they try an up coming manager if they keep getting over looked these managers won't learn. The Fa always looking for a quick fix and it usually ends up being expensive when it shouldn't be, but I wish Tuchel well thought

Agree. If a country fails to develop their own coaches then on their head be it.
