Coach Tuchel officially leads the England team, the risk of internal discord increases?

According to The Guardian , the English Football Association (FA) has completed personal agreements with coach Thomas Tuchel. Mr. Thomas Tuchel (Germany) will become the third foreign coach, after Sven-Goran Eriksson (Sweden) and Fabio Capello (Italy) to lead the "Three Lions". Coach Thomas Tuchel's debut is expected to take place on October 17 at Wembley Stadium.

Coach Tuchel agrees to lead the England team

So, since coach Gareth Southgate resigned after the defeat in the final of EURO 2024, the England team has found an official coach. However, the FA said that Mr. Lee Carsley - who was elected as interim coach - will continue to lead the England team in the last two matches of the Nations League against Greece and Ireland in November. After that, coach Thomas Tuchel will officially take over the team. The German coach's main goal is to lead the England team to qualify and win the 2026 World Cup.

Before taking charge of the England team, coach Thomas Tuchel had quite an impressive record. The 51-year-old coach won the Champions League (2021), the FIFA Club World Cup (2022) and the UEFA Super Cup (2022) with Chelsea. While leading PSG in France, coach Thomas Tuchel also won two Ligue 1 titles. His last job before taking over the England team was coach of Bayern Munich in the 2023-2024 season.

Mr. Tuchel is a man with a very strong personality.

Former England coach Harry Redknapp pointed out the reason for coach Thomas Tuchel's selection: "Obviously, there are very few options for the FA because English coaches no longer have a place in the Premier League. Meanwhile, Mr. Thomas Tuchel has a strong personality, has worked in England and the FA considers it suitable for the players."

Former England defender Stuart Pearce said: "When Gareth left in the summer, people said we needed to go one step further to win trophies. And if England need trophies, Thomas Tuchel is the expert at that. The German is very strong in the cup competitions and the FA believe England will be successful."

The risk of internal discord is high.

With coach Thomas Tuchel about to become the new captain of the England team, the British media has raised many questions about the connection and unity in the team. Before coming to work at Chelsea, Mr. Thomas Tuchel was known as a strong personality, ready to express his views to the leadership, leading to conflicts. When he was leading Mainz 05 or Dortmund in Germany, this happened many times.

In addition, during his time leading PSG, coach Thomas Tuchel also had conflicts with stars like Mbappe and Neymar and was forced to leave despite bringing the French representative to the UEFA Champions League final (2020).

Mr. Tuchel also often causes discord with players as well as the board of directors.

“Sometimes what can affect his behaviour as a coach is that he never reached his peak as a player. In fact, coach Tuchel had to hang up his boots at the age of 24.

He has achieved success and has been praised at times as one of the best tacticians in Europe, even being compared to coach Pep Guardiola. But at the same time, coach Tuchel has a tendency to disagree with players and superiors, or express his demands in a tactless way. The risk of internal discord when coach Tuchel leads the England team is increasing and everyone hopes that he will not repeat the mistakes of the past," commented the BBC channel.
