Thomas Tuchel, the newly appointed England manager, has revealed why he turned down the opportunity to take over at Manchester United.
Despite being linked to the Old Trafford role as uncertainty surrounds Erik ten Hag’s future, Tuchel chose to lead the Three Lions, becoming only the third non-English manager in history to do so.
Tuchel, who previously managed Chelsea and PSG, was reportedly in talks with Man Utd co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe during the summer. However, the German coach opted for the national team role instead. 🏴
When asked about the decision, Tuchel explained:
“The idea and the way John [McDermott] and Mark [Bullingham] presented it was very fast and confidential. It was a clear vision, and the decision was for this job, not against anything else.”
Tuchel’s move to England comes as a surprise to many, with Manchester United still facing challenges on the field and Erik ten Hag’s position under scrutiny. Fans and pundits alike have speculated that Tuchel could have been the solution to United’s struggles. But for Tuchel, it was England’s vision that won him over. 🔥
