Rooney delivers his verdict. He sees only one successor to Tuchel with England
Legendary England striker Wayne Rooney has spoken out about Thomas Tuchel's future following the national team's exit in the World Cup semi-finals. According to the former England captain, the only reason to replace the current manager would be if there's a chance to bring in Pep Guardiola, reports the Independent.
Right now, I don't see anyone else, unless you bring in Pep Guardiola. If he's available, then maybe it's worth considering. Tuchel is a top-class coach, and the best managers learn from their mistakes and come back stronger. If we sack him, who do we bring in? I don't think there's anyone better than Tuchel right now, except for Guardiola. He hasn't had World Cup experience before. It was the same once with Fabio Capello. The World Cup is a very special tournament, and you have to feel its atmosphere. Now Tuchel has that experience," said Rooney.
Recall that after the 1-2 defeat to Argentina in the World Cup semi-final, Tuchel came under a barrage of criticism. Many pundits questioned his tactical decisions, but according to British media, the Football Association of England continues to trust the German specialist, whose contract runs until 2028.
