Man City and England defender Kyle Walker has shared his thoughts on the appointment of Thomas Tuchel as the new coach of England.
Following constant and unwarranted criticism by the English media on the appointment of Thomas Tuchel as the new head coach of England, Man City defender Kyle Walker has shared his thoughts on the appointment of the German ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Kyle Walker has publicly supported the Football Association’s (FA) decision to appoint Thomas Tuchel as the national team’s manager. Walker emphasized that Tuchel’s record as well as mentality is enough for him to earn the spot as the coach of England.
Speaking on the BBC podcast ‘You’ll Never Beat Kyle Walker’, Walker made his point by stating, “I can understand the English public thinking it should be an English manager taking control of the national team. But for me it’s about who is going to get the results, he has proven at big clubs that he can manage big players with big characters, the likes of PSG, he went to Chelsea and won the Champions League against Manchester City, that is one that sticks firmly in my mind. It is a great appointment and it is an even better appointment if he puts me in the team again! I think it is a great appointment but the proof is in the pudding, we need to do it as a set of players”
Thomas Tuchel however does not officially take up the role as head coach of England until 2025, and given his critical nature is expected to watch on from afar for England’s next two Nations League clashes against Greece and the Republic of Ireland in November 2024.
