Borussia Dortmund CEO Hans-Joachim Watzke captured the opinion of many to have worked with England manager Thomas Tuchel when he called him “a fantastic coach but a difficult person.”
At least one half of that equation was on full display during a wild-eyed conclusion to England’s World Cup quarterfinal victory over Norway on Saturday. After the Three Lions somehow scramble into the final four, Tuchel showed his spikiest side in a startling postmatch interview which not only rankled with his questioner, but also his best player, Jude Bellingham.
