According to consistent media reports, Thomas Tuchel will take over the coaching position on the island. In early summer he had to leave FC Bayern and would now be the first German to coach the English national team.
No other football nation has caused England more pain in recent decades than Germany. The English men’s national team repeatedly failed at World and European Championships against their arch-rivals, mostly on penalties. Meanwhile, the motherland of football, which has been uncrowned for so long, has been waiting for a title since its only World Cup home win in 1966. According to reports, this longing of the English people is now supposed to be fulfilled by – of all people – a German coach.
