Junior-level success cannot mask the fact that the Premier League stifles the development of home-grown coaches
England welcomes Thomas Tuchel but for the mother of the game and former World Cup winners, to be unable to find a manager of their own feels uncomfortable.England welcomes Thomas Tuchel but for the mother of the game and former World Cup winners, to be unable to find a manager of their own feels uncomfortable.he good news for the battered pride of English coaching is that, even leaving Lee Carsley and his complicated status aside,still provides the manager for 11 national teams.
It’s true that the role of the manager has increased in prominence since then, and true too that football’s attitudes to the nationalities of players has changed considerably: Luis Monti played in each of the first two World Cup finals, once for Argentina and once for Italy. But, still, it would be hard to mount an argument based in history that the not unreasonable idea of international football as the best of ours against the best of yours extended beyond playing personnel.
Yet three times this century, England have felt the need to look overseas, which is perhaps only natural for a football culture so unashamedly capitalistic; what you don’t have, you buy. But Tuchel’s appointment is in effect an admission that, in coaching terms at least, England is not in that top rank of nations.
