Thomas Tuchel was only recently sacked at Chelsea FC, and now he has his sights set on the post of England coach.
LONDON - The release of Thomas Tuchel from Chelsea in early September sparked much conversation and left a "devastated" coach behind.
Now the German trainer seems to have recovered from his dismissal, who now has a prominent post in mind as England national coach.
However, there should be well-known competition on the list of possible national coaches, which has a spicy name, especially in connection with Tuchel.
Tuchel could benefit from the dismissal of the coach
Although Thomas Tuchel has not been without a club for that long, according to information from the British newspaper
Telegraph
, the German has already received three job offers since being kicked out at Chelsea.
But both the two offers from England and the possibility from Spain are said to have been rejected by Tuchel.
He is waiting "for the right opportunity", which apparently has not yet arisen.

The opportunity that Tuchel is said to have liked is the opportunity to be appointed coach of the England national team.
To get this chance, however, the current coach of the Three Lions, Gareth Southgate, whose contract runs until 2024, would have to be relieved of his duties.
In the end, Tuchel would not only benefit from the dismissal of his colleague, but also from the potentially poor performance of the English at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
Not only Tuchel shows interest in the English coaching chair
Playing poker for Southgate's dismissal while rejecting other offers is a high-stakes game for Tuchel.
The English coach has been criticized for predicting a bad result for the Three Lions at the World Cup due to a current slump in results, but can still be described as daring.
Although the financial situation at Tuchel, who continues to receive his monthly salary from Chelsea, will not suffer.

The situation seems strange, because not only Tuchel seems to be counting on a job that is still occupied, the former coach of Tottenham Hotspur, Mauricio Pochettino, is also considered interested.
And with a power that should not be underestimated in England, the British bookmakers, Graham Potter is very popular.
Ironically, he only recently succeeded Thomas Tuchel in the Blues.
There were also rumors about Tuchel at VfB Stuttgart, but there is now someone else ahead.
