A strange selection of players, poor tactical choices at key moments, conservative and outdated ideas, questionable substitutions, unconvincing performances… Thomas Tuchel faced plenty of criticism after the World Cup and England’s semi-final elimination by Argentina, yet the German managed to survive in the England dugout. To be fair, none of the serious media outlets ever really questioned his position, but given the immense and mounting dissatisfaction (from all three sides — the fans, the FA and the manager), many believed that Tuchel himself might eventually decide to walk away. That ultimately did not happen, and a few days ago the experienced coach began a new cycle with the Three Lions.##LINKED_NEWS_69094##New squad — same old complaints. Some wounds have yet to heal, while new ones seem to be opening. The atmosphere around the national team is far from ideal, something that was already apparent at the first press conference, when the squad was announced. Tuchel issued severa..

Ruben Amorim was the first coaching hire Sir Jim Ratcliffe made since arriving to Manchester United as a minority owner in charge of the sporting sector. He was, in fact, Omar Berrada’s first choice, but United’s CEO surely wouldn’t do anything before consulting Ratcliffe first. Erik ten Hag was hired before, and the young Portuguese was seen as a new, modern manager who would signal Manchester’s new start. He ended up being sacked in mid-season, just like many of his predecessors. One of the reasons (apart from the obvious – lack of results) was the stubbornness in tactical style. Amorim was forcing a 3-4-3 tactical setup in Sporting, and it worked great there, but in England, it didn’t. He was advised to chance the tactics but Amorim refused to do so many times.##LINKED_NEWS_69190##Director of football Jason Wilcox was the one he apparently had the most clashes with, mainly due to the famous ‘formation‘ issue.
