Thomas Tuchel appointed England manager: Football fans react
Thomas is a German professional football manager and former player. He has previously managed Chelsea, leading them to Champions League victory. However, some football fans are unconvinced of his appointment.
Thomas, wishing you the best of luck, we’re all behind you! W.
“Winston Churchill turning in his grave,” blasted one.
“I’m a bit old school on this but it does feel a bit odd seeing a German leading the English national team. This isn’t about hiring a foreign manager but one from a rival nation,” said another.
“I would choose any English manager over Tuchel, Pep etc … Give me Harry Redknapp. Give me bloody Southgate back. It’s The National Team. National!!” another complained.
