German media outlets have reacted to the FA’s appointment of Thomas Tuchel as the new permanent England manager, with Bild\u00a0<\/em>poking fun at the Three Lions, claiming that ‘only a German can help now’.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Football Association officially confirmed the appointment of Thomas Tuchel<\/a> as the new permanent England manager on Wednesday, and while the reaction has largely been positive, questions have been raised over the acquisition of an international manager.<\/p>\n

Tuchel, who has penned an 18-month deal to become the Three Lions’ new coach, becomes the third non-British permanent England manager, following in the footsteps of Fabio Capello and the late Sven-Goran Eriksson.<\/p>\n

Former England international and ex-assistant manager Gary Neville<\/a> questioned what the German’s arrival means for English coaching, but admitted that the 51-year-old is \u2018probably the best available coach in the world\u2019 right now.<\/p>\n

Certain members of the German media, meanwhile, greeted England’s appointment of Tuchel by poking fun at the Three Lions, stating that ‘only a German can help now’ as they close in on 60 years without a major trophy.<\/p>\n

German Media On Tuchel To England: “Only A German Can Help Now”<\/h2>\n

News outlet Bild<\/em> wrote: “The motherland of football gets a German dad. Madness!<\/p>\n

“Since 1966 – 1966!!!! – the proud football nation has been waiting for a trophy (and sorry, even the World Cup<\/a> victory only happened because the referee made a mistake). It will soon be 60 years without a title. In that time, we’ve won the World Cup three times and the European Championship three times. Oops.<\/p>\n

“The despair on the island must be immense if they realise only a German can help now. What a tribute to Tuchel and German football that the English are jumping over their shadows despite the huge rivalry.”<\/p>\n

Another German newspaper,\u00a0Der Spiegel<\/em>, meanwhile, praised the move and backed Tuchel to bring an end to the Three Lions’ trophy drought.<\/p>\n

“English football is more globalised than German football, the clubs are often in the hands of foreign owners and they employ the best coaches in the industry,” they wrote.<\/p>\n

“Recently, they have rarely come from Great Britain. The only current Premier League<\/a> coach at a club with European Cup ambitions is Newcastle’s Eddie Howe. He is yet to win a major title. And that is exactly what the English FA is all about – end their drought since their World Cup success in 1966. Tuchel can be trusted to do that.”<\/p>\n

Tuchel is due to start in his role on 1 January 2025 ahead of the upcoming World Cup qualifying campaign, taking over from interim manager Lee Carsley<\/a>, who is set to return to England’s Under-21 side.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
