Thomas Tuchel picked up a medal in the World Cup “home to England” for the first time since 1966. The problem was that generations of Englishmen were ready for gold. A 6-4 win against a French team that had mentally taken a summer break after losing to Spain in the semi-finals was entertaining and a Donald band-aid on the big, open wound, after what seemed like an unnecessary loss to Argentina. Tuchel returns home with a medal, but has to face fierce criticism after the losing strategy against Messi and the gang in the semi-finals. For us, it is very interesting that Ole Gunnar Solskjær received a phone call from the English Football Association.
The criticism of national team manager Thomas Tuchel is massive, but for now, the English Football Association has held on to the idea that he will continue at least until after the European Championship in two years.

Still, when Solskjaer is considered at an early stage to take the job as England national team manager, one of the toughest coaching jobs on the market, it says a lot about Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s status on the ball island.
We think that Solskjaer, the best United manager since Ferguson, will return to England and the Premier League in his next job. That it is only a matter of time before the next big coaching job is landed.
