England’s decision to appoint Germany’s Thomas Tuchel as head coach is a bold move and only delivering a long-awaited trophy will be a success, according to former captain Alan Shearer.
Former Chelsea manager Tuchel was confirmed as Gareth Southgate’s fulltime replacement on Wednesday – becoming England’s third foreign head coach.
“We need a trophy – it’s as simple as that. We need a manager who can deliver that,” Shearer told “The Rest Is Football” podcast shortly before Tuchel was confirmed.
“There’s no doubt he has an incredible CV, but this is going to be a very different test for him. It’s a bold move from the FA, there’s no doubt about it.”
