For the third time - after Sven-Goran Eriksson and Fabio Capello - the English Football Association (FA) has sought a foreign coach. They have just appointed Thomas Tuchel as head coach of the national team.
Currently, that is no longer a big problem in England, since Eriksson was trusted in 2000. However, that is still a big enough problem for other big teams in the world.
Brazil, Argentina, Germany, France or Italy have never appointed a foreign coach in history. On the other hand, their national championships are not as diverse and globalized as England. Therefore, the above things are reasonable.
They also do not face the shortage of local coaching talent like England. Newcastle's Eddie Howe is the only highly rated English captain at the moment.
But above all, the choice of Tuchel (like Capello and Eriksson) comes from the "Three Lions' desire to win and win immediately". The German is considered a "shortcut" to success - someone who likes immediate results rather than long-term construction.
Not because England are getting old, but because of their bitter failures over the years. They have reached 2 finals, 1 semi-final and 1 quarter-final of major tournaments but have not been able to taste the championship.
In fact, Tuchel was given an 18-month contract, instead of a long-term deal. This is further evidence of the FA's intentions. All of this is in line with the current perception of Tuchel - a coach who can solve problems immediately and get results.
The former Bayern Munich coach has agreed to take over the "hot seat" in the England team after quick negotiations with the FA. The 51-year-old strategist will be officially announced as the coach of the "Three Lions" this week.
Tuchel could earn the same salary as Gareth Southgate. According to British media, Tuchel will pocket £5 million a year as the head coach of the "Three Lions".
"I am excited that my contract is 18 months. Such a time is quite ideal, because I always have to think that I am not lost in concentration. I came to England with the goal of helping the team achieve the best possible results at the World Cup" - Tuchel shared.
