[Saba Sports News] Recently, the FA announced surprising news: German coach Thomas Tuchel has been appointed as the head coach of the England men’s national team, making him the first German coach in England’s history. He will officially take charge on January 1, 2025, with an 18-month contract that will see him lead the team in the 2026 World Cup. Tuchel’s annual salary is £5 million, which is only half of what he earned while coaching Chelsea. Despite Tuchel’s impressive resume, there are still dissenting voices regarding his appointment due to his German nationality; foreign coaches are not very popular at the national team level. I believe that despite facing some opposition, Tuchel’s extensive coaching experience and brilliant track record give him a good chance to lead England to better results in future competitions. His salary and contract duration reflect the FA’s expectations and considerations, and I believe he can bring new vitality and opportunities to English football.
