It's in the news that Thomas Tuchel has agreed to be the new permanent coach of England. The German will become the third foreign manager of the three loins if a deal is signed. So, the possibility of Pep Guardiola coaching England is approximately zero. He might decide to extend his contract because he is achieving so much with Manchester City.
It seems Joan Laporta is desperate to bring Erling Haaland to Barca. My question is, does the club have the money to bring him and also cover his wage? I also doubt City will allow him to leave.
Previous news was that Pep Guardiola still hadn't thought about training the England national team, he was still focused on his own team, while the FA still needed a coach to fix his team, so only Tuchel was unemployed so he took this job, at least he was not too bad even though he was fired twice for not being good at leading his club.
If I'm not mistaken Haaland has just renewed his contract clause with Man City? Is that close to 100M?
It is still difficult for Barcelona to recruit Haaland while Man City needs him.
When Tuchel got fired the last time when he coached Chelsea, I think they were not doing all that bad, were they? Wasn't he sacked because the investor came into play and wanted Graham Potter instead? I remember that the decision was at least controversial as the season before Tuchel won the Champions League with Chelsea.
But from the perspective of Tuchel I think this is the perfect job for him. He has had trouble with all the clubs he coached, Dortmund, PSG, Chelsea, Bayern Munich. Now he can take over a top quality national team and he can only win since England hasn't won anything in a very long time. If he does, he is the British hero. And on top of that these national coaches get paid huge salaries these days. There was a big difference between national coaches and club coaches in the past, but if you have so much less work and still make 10 - 12 million per year, there isn't much to complain about...
