It wasn't Manchester United. It's the England national team.
Thomas Tuchel, 51, who resigned as Bayern Munich manager of the German Bundesliga in June, is expected to find a new job soon. However, this is not the place that was expected to be the most likely. Rumors are rising that the national team coach will be appointed all of a sudden. This is the English national team that recently played A-match under the temporary coach system.
British media Daily Mail reported on the 12th (Korea time) that "Former Munich coach Tuchel is negotiating for the position of the next head coach of the English national team. Negotiations have progressed rapidly since the English national soccer team under the interim coach Lee Kasley lost to Greece."
Quoting a report by the German newspaper Bild, the media outlet explained that Tuchel sought the post of Manchester United manager after being replaced by Munich. However, he is currently trying to become the coach of the English national team.
Tuchel's challenge to coach the English national team has emerged with two backgrounds intertwined.
First of all, the appointment of the next manager of Manchester United, which was originally expected to be a strong candidate, became slim in an instant. Manchester United faced the 2024-2025 season under Erik ten Hach, and both its power and league performance were more than expected. In the end, the ranking fell to 14th place in the league (eight points). At the same time, it seemed almost certain that Ten Hach would be replaced.
However, Manchester United's leadership, including owner Jim Ratcliffe, failed to defeat Coach Ten Hach. The Times, a British media outlet, once said on the 9th, "The leadership of Manchester United had a marathon meeting for as many as seven hours on the future of Coach Ten Hach. In conclusion, Coach Ten Hach is expected to continue to take the helm of Manchester United." The biggest reason why Manchester United's leadership has not confirmed the replacement of Ten Hach is believed to be due to the penalty for the termination of the contract. It is known to amount to about 17.5 million pounds (about 31 billion won).
The second reason is the lackluster performance of the English national team. The English national team has yet to find a replacement after Gareth Southgate resigned as coach of the team after finishing second at the Euro 2024. The English Football Association has appointed former coach of the national team by age as its interim head coach.
He was okay in the beginning. He beat Ireland and Finland in the first and second rounds of the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) Nations League B group league during the 2024-2025 season. However, he suffered a shocking 1-2 defeat against Greece in the third round held at dawn on July 11. Criticism mounted on him, and interim coach Kasley expressed his intention to resign.
In the end, it seems that Tuchel has changed his "job search strategy" as it became difficult to appoint the Manchester United manager and the position of the English national team became vacant. If it is the current situation, it may be the right strategy. If it is Tuchel's career, he will easily take over as the coach of the English national team. 메이저사이트
