The point is we don’t have an English candidate strong enough to take that job,
What I have seen in this last 15, 20 years is the reputational damage that English coaching has taken,
I think everybody in our country including myself will wish him all the best and hope we can get over the line and win a trophy,
I know Thomas well from last year and [he's a] fantastic coach and fantastic person,
Thomas was very impressive and stood out with his vast expertise and his drive,
We did not like these statements. The club did not like them, neither did I personally like them,
Working closely with Anthony as my assistant coach, we will do everything we can to make England successful and the supporters proud,
Tuchel will have looked at this squad and thought there is so much talent in there, this is an unbelievable opportunity of winning the greatest trophy of all,
We need a trophy - it's as simple as that. We need a manager who can deliver that,
I really hope that they have spoken to English managers. I am reliably told that they didn't speak to (Newcastle United manager) Eddie Howe or sound him out at all,
For any Englishman in football, working with the national team is the pinnacle and I didn’t hesitate when Thomas asked me to come and join him again. I know what a great place St. George’s Park is and how much of an advantage it gives our England teams, and the support it gives to coaches."
The decision to recruit Tuchel and Barry was approved by the FA Board early last week, with Tuchel signing his contract on October 8,
We are thrilled to have hired Thomas Tuchel, one of the best coaches in the world and Anthony Barry who is one of the best English coaches to support him,
I am very proud to have been given the honour of leading the England team,
I’ve seen enough to suggest to me that the players really trust him, that he’s imaginative enough to produce something that is a joy to watch, that is entertaining, that is front-footed football,
I wanted an Englishman to manage England
I think the FA thought we have to act here or there is a chance we lose one of our outstanding candidates to a club job and that could have happened really soon
They found one of the few managers that has a worse play-style than Southgate.
England FA will never miss with hiring underachievers as managers to waste different generations of players they are blessed with
Poor choice and wont be any better than Southgate.
