Following the announcement of German coach Thomas Tuchel being appointed as the new manager of England's men's soccer team, reactions from British soccer managers have been a mix of disappointment and resignation. Tuchel, known for his successful stints at Chelsea, Paris Saint-Germain, and Bayern Munich, was chosen over a shortlist of approximately 10 names, including some English managers.
Football Association chief executive Mark Bullingham confirmed that several English coaches were interviewed for the role, but ultimately Tuchel was deemed the best candidate to lead England in their quest for a first major title since the 1966 World Cup. Tuchel becomes the third overseas coach to take charge of England's men's team this century, following Sven-Goran Eriksson and Fabio Capello.
