British soccer managers have reacted with disappointment and a degree of resignation after a German, Thomas Tuchel, was hired to take charge of England ahead of a homegrown coach.
Football Association chief executive Mark Bullingham said some English managers - he didn't disclose the precise number - were interviewed for the role from a shortlist of "approximately" 10 names.
Tuchel was ultimately deemed to be the best hope of leading England to a first major title since the 1966 World Cup.
