Ahead of the Bronze Medal match against France, a BBC star publicly called for England manager Thomas Tuchel to be sacked while the German sat yards away on the broadcast desk.
— I think he will keep his job, but I don't think he should. He's failed, and he's failed in the same way we've failed before. I think he probably will get the vote of confidence, but I think they should make a change.
The criticism was made moments before kick-off, following England's 2-1 defeat to Argentina in the semi-final.
Tuchel remains under contract with the Football Association until the 2028 home European Championship.
Thomas Tuchel — coach:
- 🏟 Bayern Munich (2023–2024)
- 🏟 Chelsea (2021–2022)
- 🏟 PSG (2018–2020)
