Head coach of the England national team, Thomas Tuchel, has come under intense scrutiny after his side lost 3-1 to Senegal in an international friendly game on June 10, 2025.
Senegal thrashed The Three Lions 3-1 in a friendly game in England on June 10, 2025, in an enthralling encounter.
Harry Kane broke the deadlock in the 11th minute as they pressed for the opener from the start of the game.
However, Senegal came back into the match with goals from Ismaila Sarr, Cheikh Sabaly, and Habib Diarra, giving them a convincing 3-1 win and making history as the first African side to defeat England.
This sparked outrage among English fans who were livid about the quality of football the team played during the game and the lack of tactical identity from the coach.
Hence, a section of supporters has called for the manager to be dismissed, believing he may not be able to lead them to win the much-coveted World Cup trophy that has eluded them for so long.
Meanwhile, others have called for the manager to be given more time to play more games and settle before making judgments about his future.
Since taking over as the Three Lions’ manager from Gareth Southgate, the German coach has played four matches, won three, and lost one.
There have been concerns that the slim-margin wins by the star-studded team are an indication that the team is gradually regressing.

6 out of 10, not awful, but not great, we play like that every game, we wont qualify, but im confident we wont play like that every game, Tuchel is clearly unhappy with the performance and he will do all he can to fix it, if thats not enough to win the WC, then at least he tried

The @FA should be ashamed that they couldn’t find one decent British head coach, Spain, Italy and Germany could never beg a foreign coach to lead them. A massive footballing nation like England and you can’t find one coach in the whole country 😭😂 embarrassing

3/10. Slow and ponderous play. Doesn’t play the best players available. Doesn’t seem to be able to motivate the team.

If the next two games go the same way and the U21s have a good Euros then ditch Tuchel and get Carsley in for the WC. We can’t afford to have another Euro 2016.

So do the promising young players that you chose not to select or involve. Poor decisions, bowing to the media…. Lethargic tactics. It’s on you. And the players you chose who have done this before. 🤷🏻♂️ enjoy that self imposed bad feeling.
