Thomas Tuchel and the English Game
Newly appointed England head coach Thomas Tuchel during a press conference at Wembley Stadium, London, October 16, 2024

Such criticism forgets how football developed as a global game in the first place, and national team football has always been open to positive international influences and the sharing of ideas beyond borders.
