Free of any commitment since leaving Chelsea, Thomas Tuchel spoke about his intentions for the rest of his coaching career. The German coach does not hide his desire to take control of a selection.
Aston Villa was in the running
On September 7, Chelsea decided to sack their coach Thomas Tuchel, since replaced by Englishman Graham Potter. Weeks go by and the German technician still hasn’t found the right match. Across the Channel, the name of the former Paris Saint-Germain manager was mentioned at the Aston Villa side to replace Steven Gerrard, but the Villans ended up turning to Unai Emery. On the European continent, a more prestigious formation would think of his profile, namely FC Barcelona, in the event of Xavi’s departure. If he keeps a good rating on the transfer market, the 49-year-old coach could make the decision to put aside his club career in order to take the reins of a selection.
“Yes why not ?”
According to information from England, Thomas Tuchel is considering succeeding Gareth Southgate on the sidelines of the Three Lions, after the 2022 World Cup which will be played in Qatar from November 20 to December 18. In remarks taken from Sky Sports, the native of Krumbach came out of silence on his career plan. Without confirming an interest in England, the ex-coach of Borussia Dortmund says he is ready to recover a selection showing strong ambitions. “Yes why not ? I would, I would. I haven’t thought about it too much so far. But I would wonder if it’s the right team and if it has the potential to win trophies like the World Cup and the Euros. Thomas Tuchel will probably wait for a place to become available once the World Cup is over.
