Former England player shuts down debate on coach's nationality
Before Thomas Tuchel was appointed as the head coach of the England national team, debates were unfolding: should it be someone who isn't English? However, former "Three Lions" winger Shaun Wright-Phillips believes it doesn't matter.
Details: According to the ex-Manchester City player, if the football association didn't choose an Englishman for the head coach position, it means there wasn't one suitable. And if Tuchel proves himself, such debates will cease.
Quote: "If we had an English manager with the necessary credentials who was available, then that would be fair, but I don't think there was. Tuchel was available, and his resume speaks for itself. If he comes in and does his job, it doesn't matter where he's from," Wright-Phillips said in an interview with FourFourTwo.
