Thomas Tuchel drew plenty of fanfare when he joined England’s staff as its manager in Jan. 2025. The Ligue 1, Bundesliga and Champions League-winning boss enjoyed a fairly glittering reputation in the European game, even if things fell apart at the end of prior stints with Paris Saint-Germain, Chelsea and Bayern Munich.
Tuchel figured to have the qualities needed to push the Three Lions to the top of the totem pole at the 2026 World Cup. When they took on Argentina in the semifinals, his limitations grew too difficult to ignore.
Tuchel’s tactics were at the heart of England’s 2-1 defeat to La Albiceleste on Wednesday. The play-caller’s insistence on removing attacking talent for defenders gave Argentina a platform to mount dangerous attacks from the flanks — specifically the right one, occupied by Argentina dynamo Lionel Messi.

The fact that Lionel Scaloni’s side scored two goals in the match’s waning moments was hardly surprising. The score could have been worse if it were not for timely interventions by Djed Spence and Jordan Pickford.
Tuchel’s display had some feeling disillusioned with England’s progress under his tutelage. The German-born taskmaster inked a two-year extension prior to this year’s competition, ostensibly locking him down until the 2028 European Championships.
However, things happen, especially after devastating losses. In the event that Tuchel were to be sacked, who could the Three Lions look towards to replace him? Here’s a look at the list.
