Kyle Walker Backs England’s Decision to Appoint Former Chelsea Boss Thomas Tuchel as Head Coach

Manchester City and England star Kyle Walker has voiced his support for the appointment of former Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel as the new head coach of the England national team.

The decision to bring in the German tactician has sparked debate, particularly around the idea of a non-English manager leading the national side. However, Walker believes that Tuchel’s proven track record with top clubs makes him the right man for the job.

The experienced right-back, who played against Tuchel’s Chelsea in the 2021 UEFA Champions League final, shared his thoughts on the appointment during an interview with the BBC.

“I understand the English public thinking it should be an English manager… but for me, it’s about who is going to get results,” Walker stated, emphasizing that the priority should be securing success rather than focusing on the nationality of the coach.

Walker highlighted Tuchel’s ability to handle big players and perform on the biggest stages, citing his previous managerial roles as evidence of his capabilities.

“Tuchel has proven at big clubs he can manage big players… the likes of PSG, Chelsea as he won the UCL against Man City,” Walker said.

The 2021 Champions League victory, where Tuchel’s Chelsea defeated Manchester City 1-0, was a testament to his tactical acumen and ability to deliver results under pressure.

Tuchel’s arrival comes with high expectations as England continues its pursuit of major international honours. His tenure at Chelsea, which saw him quickly turn the team into European champions after his appointment in early 2021, is likely to have played a significant role in the decision to bring him on board.

While some may question the appointment of a foreign coach for England, Walker’s endorsement highlights a different perspective, one focused on the practicalities of winning. With Tuchel at the helm, the Three Lions will look to take the next step in their development and end their long wait for a major international trophy.

For Chelsea fans, Tuchel’s appointment as England manager brings a sense of nostalgia, recalling the German’s impactful 18-month stint at Stamford Bridge. His time with the Blues, especially the Champions League triumph, remains a highlight of recent club history and now presents an exciting chapter for England supporters as well.
