England manager Thomas Tuchel faces job uncertainty after World Cup loss

England were eliminated by Argentina in the semi‑final of the 2026 World Cup, after a defensive approach that allowed two late goals. The result triggered intense criticism from British media and supporters, many of whom are demanding that the German coach be dismissed. The Football Association is scheduled to meet in London to review Tuchel’s performance and the terms of his fixed‑term contract, which could involve a costly early termination.

In addition to the on‑field disappointment, Tuchel has been criticised for his squad selection, with a long list of omitted players such as Cole Palmer, Phil Foden, Marcus Gibbs‑White and others. He defended his choices as a attempt to build a side that mirrors the physical, direct style of the Premier League, but the perceived “selection overload” has added to the pressure on his tenure.
