The English FA has appointed Thomas Tuchel as the men's national team manager, marking the third foreign appointment in its history. The decision follows previous foreign managers like Sven-Goran Eriksson and Fabio Capello. While the reaction to Tuchel’s hiring might not be as fervent as Eriksson’s almost 25 years ago, it remains significant as England prepares for the World Cup. Former player Shaun Wright-Phillips supports the decision, stating that if an English manager with suitable credentials was available, he would have been preferred. Tuchel's qualifications are well recognized, making him a logical choice for the role.
"Tuchel was available and his CV speaks for itself. If he comes in and gets the job done, it doesn't matter where he's from."
"The fact that England will be led into the next World Cup by a German will make headlines, but the appointment does not inflame the media like Eriksson's did."
