MAIL SPORT COMMENT: It's a dark day for England as the manager's job goes to a GERMAN... and Thomas Tuchel only has 18 months to prove he's up to it

Daily Mail  

International football should be the best of ours versus the best of theirs. Gareth Southgate might not have been everyone’s cup of tea, but he gave our national team identity and the players — and all of us — a reason to believe. He wore the Three Lions on his shirt as a player and brought that force and pride into the job every day. Now we have Thomas Tuchel, a German with a questionable managerial background and an FA running around like headless chickens in a panic to get in first before Manchester United. Thomas Tuchel has agreed a deal to become the next England manager months after leaving Bayern Munich Tuchel will follow in the footsteps of non-English Three Lions bosses Sven-Goran Eriksson and Fabio Capello And what does this say about the English coaching system?
