Fans urge England ‘show ambition’ with Thomas Tuchel open to succeeding Gareth Southgate

On Oct 13, 2022

England fans have pleaded the Three Lions appoint Thomas Tuchel after he made it clear he would take the job.

Gareth Southgate has come under fire in recent months – and England’s Nations League relegation has only added to his troubles. Meanwhile, Tuchel was relieved of his duties at Chelsea after a poor start to the season saw them slump down the table.

According to German outlet BILD, Tuchel can imagine himself in charge of the English national team in the near future. And football fans have begged the English FA to hire the German with the World Cup on the horizon.

One fan tweeted: “If England had any real ambitions of winning European championships and World Cups, they should be replacing Southgate with Tuchel tonight!”

“If we got Tuchel as England’s manager we’d win everything,” another added. While a third tweeted: “If England sacked Southgate and employed Tuchel, we all know who would win the world cup in Qatar right??”

However, a fourth joked: “Tuchel managing England and [Graham] Potter managing Chelsea feels like they’ve done that f***ing Youtube trend of switching lives for a day!”

Tuchel has never been in charge of an international side – having managed five club sides throughout his 15-year managerial career.

However, Southgate has revealed his intention to see out his contract, which is set to expire in 2024.
