A ‘mister’ for England

Date:

England won on Sunday in Helsinki Finland (1-3), in the Nations League, but lackluster. He left the same trace of sadness that marked his unexpected defeat to Greece at Wembley (1-2) three days ago: uncertain style and a certain tactical chaos on the pitch. The new features introduced by the interim coach, Lee Carlsleywas unable to free the ‘pros’ from the lack of direction, which coincided with criticism for the defensive conservatism they had to endure Gareth Southgatealthough with him the ‘Three Lions’ reached a European Championship final (2020) and reached the semifinals of a World Cup (2018).

The English team lacked a coach with the personality to fend off all criticism. The English Federation is at that stage of taking its time to see where to go, and among the names it is considering are the names of Thomas Tuchelfree now, Graham Potter and Eddie Howewhom they appreciated for being English and for his good role at Newcastle. They have talked to all of them. The objectives, without saying it openly, are to offer a position to Pep Guardiolabut the Catalan contacts were not fruitful. He doubted it, as he was at the moment too focused on the City and his uncertain situation with the most possible punishment.

The harsh and unexpected defeat against Greece, with periods of poor play, doomed the chances of Carsley and expedited negotiations with the most desirable of all, Thomas Tuchelbecause he is currently the only free coach with a record of winning major titles, when he coached Chelsea. He knows English football well and has coached many of its stars. The German is also tempted by the position.

The English football team’s situation operates under the same parameters that surround Keir Starmer’s Labor Government. The longing for change Southgate It fell quickly, as did the arrival of Starmer in Downing Street, which is already considered in the English city as one of the worst starts of governance, in the first 100 days in power. His popularity ratings plummeted, after problems, resignations and internal tensions. The country is not progressing, and right now the Tories are very close at the polls again. The English team, surrounded by young stars, is also stuck in a wasteland.

In this situation, here English football needs a prestigious coach who generates general acceptance. Even though I’m not English, Tuchel can be seen as one of the few, apart from Guardiolathat can calm spirits, and build a team that can compete for the titles of the 2026 World Cup and the 2028 Euro Cup, which will definitely be held in the United Kingdom. Another incentive: this is a time when the generation of Jude Bellingham, Cole Palmer, Bukayo Saka and Phil Foden is in its prime.
