New England manager has a reputation for winning knockout ties but some of the best international coaches have had modest careers at domestic level
says. As an outsider turned insider, England’s new permanent manager was mulling over the team’s long history of falling short. Was it tactical? A lack of individual quality? Perhaps, but in Tuchel’s eyes losing a major final on penalties or to a late goal was not necessarily evidence of a seismic failing. Sometimes, as the German says, success in international football really is just about mastering the little details in the biggest moments.
The appeal is obvious. A view from close to the England camp is that a squad full of stars needs guidance from a big manager. Where are the suitable English candidates with heaving trophy cabinets and a record of handling elite players? Graham Potter foundered at Chelsea. Eddie Howe has had one season in the Champions League at Newcastle. Lee Carsley, England’s reluctant interim, has struggled with the glare of the media. Tuchel has managed Harry Kane, Kylian Mbappé and Neymar.
Club football is different, more intense in the day-to-day. But while the standard of football is higher, the best club managers have not necessarily been the best international managers in recent years.
