While Thomas Tuchel could well become the new England coach, Zinédine Zidane is, behind the German coach, the coach hoped for by Manchester United supporters according to a survey.
Zinédine Zidane at the head of Manchester United, it always makes Red Devils supporters dream! What’s more today with the advanced contacts between Thomas Tuchel and the English federation for the position of coach of the Three Lions. Unsurprisingly, Erik ten Hag’s team has had a distressing start to the season, with only two victories in seven Premier League days and two draws in the Europa League.
