The appointment of Thomas Tuchel as head of the England team is debated. The Daily Mail speaks of a “dark day”, criticizing the choice of a foreign coach to lead the Three Lions.
Thomas Tuchel has been named coach of the England national team, but this decision is already causing a lot of ink to flow across the Channel. The Daily Mail called the appointment “a dark day for England”, expressing strong opposition to the idea of a German manager taking the reins of the Three Lions.
The tabloid questions the choice of a foreign technician to lead the team, citing an “affront” to English football. The lack of support for local coaches is particularly criticized, with references to the mixed experiences of previous foreign managers such as Sven-Göran Eriksson and Fabio Capello.
A debate on foreign coaches
Other British publications, such as the Daily Mirror and The Sun, have also expressed reluctance by playing on German stereotypes. Despite this, some observers are delighted to see a coach with a track record as extensive as Tuchel’s, particularly with his victories in the Champions League with Chelsea.
The appointment of the former PSG and Bayern Munich coach marks a turning point for England, where the choice of foreign coaches reflects a certain weakness of local technicians, according to some critics.
