Thomas Tuchel penned an 18-month contract as the England manager and will take charge of the Three Lions starting 2025. This is the first time that England has appointed a German coach but the move has been met with a lot of criticism and on social media. German media, though, has left no stone unturned and brutally mocked England for appointing the third foreigner in the role."Let's talk about Thomas Tuchel and the English. The motherland of football is getting a German dad. Crazy! Since 1966 – since 1966!!!! – the proud football nation has been waiting for a title (and sorry, even the World Cup victory was only possible because the referee made a mistake on the Wembley goal). "So it will soon be 60 years without a title. In that time, we have become world champions three times and European champions three times. Oops. The desperation on the island must be enormous if they admit that only a German can help now. What a tribute to Tuchel and German football that the English are overcoming their fears despite the huge rivalry." - wrote the editor of the German newspaper Bild, Matthias Brugelmann.This development has also sparked widespread criticism in England, with several former players criticising the FA."It doesn’t feel like a strategic decision it feels like an instinctive one off the back of what's happened in the last two weeks," said Gary Neville on Sky Sports."I wanted an Englishman to coach England," said 77-year-old Harry Redknapp to Sky.Even the British media has been unsparing in its assessment. “This means that the national team will be led by a coach from England’s biggest rival, as a German will take charge for the first time.” - wrote the Mirror.“The Football Association's decision to appoint Thomas Tuchel as the new England manager is seen by many as a betrayal of the much-vaunted path from the national team's headquarters at St George's Park to the top and an insult to home-grown coaching talent. “ - added the BBC.Tuchel himself admitted he was 'unsure' about taking the England job."I am sorry I have a German passport. Maybe these supporters felt my passion for the Premier League and the country, how I love to live here and work here. Hopefully, I can convince them and show them how I am proud to be the England manager. I am proud," he said.
