- Head coach scathing about Southgate’s last tournament
- He wants to see ‘joy to win’ in his first England match
Thomas Tuchel has delivered a scathing assessment of England’s performance under Gareth Southgate at Euro 2024, saying they lacked “hunger” and “identity” last summer.
England fought their way to a second consecutive Euros final before losing 2-1 to Spain but Tuchel felt the side were afraid of losing and played without any excitement during a campaign in which Southgate faced fierce criticism from supporters and pundits.
