Tuchel Will Be Sacked If England Flops At 2026 World Cup – Redknapp

A disastrous World Cup could force Thomas Tuchel to quit his role as England manager, Harry Redknapp has said. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, despite the strange decision to extend his contract, he expects the entire nation to turn against Tuchel if the Three Lions fail to excel at the 2026 World Cup.

Redknapp added that if the great Bobby Robson could be criticised as England manager, no coach can feel relaxed.

His words, “It was a strange decision. Let’s hope he earns it.

If England have a disastrous World Cup, he’s going to get some grief, let’s be truthful. Everybody gets it with England. We’ve had great people, great managers, been destroyed over the years. Even the great Bobby Robson, he got his fair amount of grief and stick. Graham Taylor – a great man, lovely man – they’ve all had it.

If we have a disastrous World Cup then I think you’ll get so much grief you probably won’t want to stick around!”

On players to watch out for, “There’s not the characters around that there were, there’s not that many players to be perfectly truthful that get me off my seat anymore.

I love people with real ability, who can do things, beat people and change a game. I like Cole Palmer when he’s on his game. Obviously he’s not gone to the World Cup, he’s missed out. Phil Foden as well, they’re two of the players I love watching – two English lads that I enjoy watching. I like [Eberechi] Eze at Arsenal, I think when he gets on the ball he’s got amazing ability to make things happen.

Man United at the moment haven’t really got those special players like they’ve had in the past under Fergie [Sir Alex Ferguson]. There’s players around but I’d like to see more more people with ability to do something special.

I do think a lot of it now, the kids now who go into academies, it’s all about pass, pass, pass. I want to see people dribble. I still want to see people pick the ball up and be able to beat somebody one on one. I don’t see too much of that now.

I hate it when I see wingers get the ball, pass it backwards or square when they have got one against one with a defender. Back in the day you’d have got slaughtered if you’d have done that if you didn’t take the defender on, but that’s how it’s gone unfortunately.”

WOW.
