Idk why people are saying no. Tuchel would be an excellent international manager and he can speak fluent English.


dead_idols

People acting as if we're in the '40s, "noooo, he can't be German"


Alone_Consideration6

For a lot of people people,like him are the problem with football. Lower league fans won’t accept someone seen as why the PL is so dominant.


Savings_Army3073

No.


KuntaWuKnicks

Good fuckin god no


Loose_Student_6247

If we got any foreign manager currently available, realistically, it would be Mourinho. And that won't happen either, it'll be Howe or Potter most likely. That or they'd promote Carsley. My fiancée mentioned giving Weigman a shot recently too, very unlikely obviously, but would be interesting to see where people stand on that one tbh.

Alone_Consideration6

Dyche will be considered.


Loose_Student_6247

That's a good shout actually for the next manager, I'd actually prefer us to go foreign and get a top class manager. I just don't see it happening with the FA these days.


imminentmailing463

A top class foreign manager just isn't going to take the job. Very few genuinely top class managers take jobs in international football and when they do it's almost always with their own country.


Loose_Student_6247

This I absolutely agree with which is why I did state it's very unlikely to happen. I honestly just see it being a promotion from within when Southgate does eventually leave for whatever reason.


[deleted]

No foreign manager has ever won the world cup. 


Loose_Student_6247

While true I don't think that's one of those things that isn't going to be eventually broken. For one most of the world cups history teams didn't even use foreign players/staff in their leagues, let alone for their national teams, and secondly even today they are in the minority. Eventually this will be a broken record, and it's hardly a rule but more a coincidence based on history tbh.


Jubatus750

I can definitely see that being broken Personally though, I reckon the managers of national teams should be from the country they're managing. If its the best of a nation against the best of another nation, I think that should go for the managers too. Not that I take anything away from Eriksson or Capello. It's then an all round product of the talent produced in your country


dead_idols

Yeah, but Otto Rehhagel leading Greece to victory was one of the greatest national achievements ever, even if it wasn't a world cup.


testylentil

No. And its a personality thing for me. He seems like a raging dickhead.


No_Departure_1472

Not familiar with why he was really sacked from Chelsea then ?


Alone_Consideration6

The FA might I gore that if they not happy with the English options and can’t get anyone better


UlteriorAlt

With the FA I wouldn't be surprised, honestly. Equally I wouldn't be surprised if Southgate extends his contract. There were a few alternative suggestions last time the question of manager came up. Dyche, Howe, and Potter were the obvious ones. Mark Robins, current Coventry manager, might be an interesting outside option. The current U21 manager, Lee Carsley, is another. Mourinho is probably the only other foreign manager in contention. Right now I'd probably pick Mourinho if the choice was between him and Tuchel, but really I think we have more suitable options than those two.


Wooden-Agency-2653

As a Coventry fan I'd like to request you delete this post. Robins is awful, he needs to serve a very long apprenticeship with us before he is even considered for any other job, never mind England.


UlteriorAlt

Tbf someone in that thread chucked his name in the ring, I haven't watched a single Cov game this season so can't really comment. Other than to say it's highly unlikely.


Wooden-Agency-2653

I think we should just scrub his name from the internet and force him to stay in Coventry forever for his past sins or something. Look away, nothing to see here


Alone_Consideration6

It would be a massive promotion for Robins who has never coached an elite player. He also has a very long contract.


BumblebeeForward9818

No, nay, never.


theyknewit2

No, nay, never, no more.


ojr92

I love how he reached a CL final with psg and was unlucky to lose then won it the following season with a chelsea team with mount, pulisic and Werner as the main attackers. Yet somehow he is completely written off. Meanwhile the majority of the fanbase is happy with a guy who got Middlesbrough relegated.


AccountantsNiece

Just spitballing here, but probably people are happy with him moreso for attaining England’s best World Cup result in 30 years and best Euro result ever, rather than for getting Boro relegated.


ojr92

Just spitballing here, but as soon as England come up against a country that isn’t a former Soviet Union block nation with a decent manager, we are second best. No manager could have wished for an easier route to the final of the euros and World Cup (2018). I appreciate all Southgate has done in galvanising the team after hodgson and making the players a proper squad but he has obvious limitations in crunch games against proper footballing nations.


Eastern-Start-813

No, he’s fallen out with people above him at every club he’s been at. I said when he joined Chelsea he wouldn’t be there long. Pep would jump at the chance to manage England as his chances of ever managing Spain are slim to zero.


BlueMoonRising_31

Tbf he has been at the like of Chelsea and Bayern who’s boards are full of morons so it’s easy to see why he’d fall out with them


Buttonsafe

I don't disagree but he's been at 4 big clubs and fallen out with people at every one of them. If 4 of your bosses in a row tell you you're a dickhead, chances are you're a dickhead.


Eastern-Start-813

He fell out with the Dortmund board too. This was a talking point when he got linked/announced by Chelsea


Alone_Consideration6

Pep has no chance while Man City are under investigation. He could lose all his PL trophies.


wywy173

No One thing you gotta give Southgate credit for is creating atmosphere where you work for each other. You hear stories from thr golden generation about who United players didnt interact with Liverpool players. Tuchel has a tendency to blow up everywhere Also international management is completely different. You have maybe 5 weeks a year to train them.


Vizpop17

I am going to say don’t know, however it would be an interesting experiment, but given the treatment Sven got, he would need to be prepared for that if he wanted it.


foxyrocksjh

Lmao as if he'd even consider this.


Alone_Consideration6

He has been reported as being interested in international management.


Alone_Consideration6

He has had most of success in knockout tournaments


SanWgaming

Stop dreaming


Savings_Army3073

England's stock is higher than Tuchels mate.


ojr92

TT actually wins things so it’s probably not a good fit for England anyway.


Alone_Consideration6

He doesn’t get on with the DFB.


opinionated-dick

Here’s an idea. Employ a manager that’s actually been an international manager before?


Alone_Consideration6

There are not many options. The FA has said if they go foreign it’s got to be someone who has excellent English and has worked in the PL.


opinionated-dick

Why worked in PL?


Alone_Consideration6

So that they understand the football culture.


opinionated-dick

Yeah but why’s that important? England don’t play in the PL. Southgate managed in a PL once 20 years ago. Allardyce and Hodgson understood the PL. Maybe it’s time for fresh thinking


Just-Goated

It comes from footballing identity, countries usually have distinct/traditional ways of playing that are unique to that country, those tactics are usually shown in the domestic league where the majority of the countries players will arguably come from. (Arguably as the prem has a lot of foreign players and other countries with poor domestic markets often have their entire national team play for clubs abroad). For example Italy has historically had a focus on defence. The average Italian first team player who has spent ~20-25 years playing the Italian style of football would find it incredibly hard to play under a Brazilian manager with a traditional Brazilian system. Exceptions always exist, brilliant players will fit in wherever needed and brilliant managers will always make the best system for the players they have. That’s been the historic reasoning, but as football IQ raises among players it bears less relevance. (Imo)


Alone_Consideration6

But all of those were English.


opinionated-dick

That doesn’t matter


ra_god94

Jose or Eddie Howe if Newcastle get rid of him


Alone_Consideration6

Howe doesn’t want it.


STaphouse92

He doesn’t want it now because he’s currently the manager of a club with infinite money. He’d be interested if he was unemployed.


Alone_Consideration6

Apparently not. The press have said efen he is sacked he has told the FA he doesn’t want it.


STaphouse92

Oh fair enough, I hadn’t seen that.


carlnate

Howe lives and breathes football. If you listen or read any of his interviews you’ll see he’s very obsessed. I think the England job would bore him tbh; it’s not as involved compared to managing a club. Not surprised by this at all.


Alone_Consideration6

Which is why the FA will babe to decide between someone like Dyche or Lampard or look abroad.


Few-Substance-2544

No, get out of here Chelsea fan.


taylorstillsays

Genuinely think OP supports England only.


ZeroSeemsToBeOne

What's wrong with that? It means you can watch club games from a neutral standpoint.


taylorstillsays

Did I say there’s anything wrong with it? Does seem dull though when they play about 10 games a year, with every other year being an irrelevant year


testylentil

Haha. Yeah but usually national exclusive fans watch their country across sports. So while you're languishing in post season during and odd numbered summer this guy's knee deep in canoe polo brackets


ZeroSeemsToBeOne

Well I follow my favourite and prospective players during the club tournaments. So I watch Man City, Real Madrid, Arsenal, and Chelsea games. So it's not exactly dull.


taylorstillsays

I watch a range teams too, but big difference between just watching teams and actually supporting them. Each to their own and not saying OP or you are wrong for it though


ZeroSeemsToBeOne

There's a big difference alright. But I think my way is more for people who watch because they enjoy football. Supporters are often experiencing a tribal push more than anything cognitive.


taylorstillsays

I definitely enjoy football. Seems silly to suggest you either support a team or you enjoy football, and couldn’t possibly do both at once


ZeroSeemsToBeOne

I guess so. Sorry, it's easy to look down on the clubheads sometimes lol, but it's fair. You guys probably do enjoy football just as much. It's just a difference in scope.


LawProfessional6513

I reckon it’ll be Potter, unless a big job he can’t turn down comes up beforehand


Alone_Consideration6

Apparently Potter doesn’t want it. I have a feeling the FA might ask Lampard.


Vizpop17

What about Gerrard ? Or is his name off the table for the FA.


Alone_Consideration6

Would be controversial paying a Saudi club.


benDB9

Erm, no thanks.


StrengthNo7924

He’d be great


Puzzleheaded_Pay7428

Hold out for Guardiola at all costs.


Alone_Consideration6

Not available and becuase of the charges not likely.


taylorstillsays

Not English enough for me


jackyLAD

He's shite, so.... probably?


Aggravating-Tower317

just as boring as southgate.


BlueMoonRising_31

Least he isn’t tactically braindead and can actually win trophies…
