“A dark day for the nation”. Media divided over Tuchel's appointment as England manager

Thomas Tuchel’s appointment as the head coach of England’s national football team has split public opinion, with many voicing their discontent even in major media outlets.

Details: The morning of October 16 saw English media featuring mixed reactions on their front pages. The Daily Mail struck a somber tone with its headline, "A dark day for England," stating that English football had become the world's laughingstock. Meanwhile, Daily Mirror took a different angle, calling Tuchel the “new Kaiser.”

Reminder: Tuchel’s contract with the English Football Association begins on January 1, 2025, and will run for 18 months. Until then, Lee Carsley will serve as interim head coach. Once Tuchel assumes his new role, Carsley will return to his position as head coach of the Under-21 team.
