The latest sports news from The42.ie in 60 seconds
NEW ENGLAND HEAD coach Thomas Tuchel and his Football Association bosses have defended his January start date.
The FA also confirmed Tuchel would not attend the World Cup qualifying draw, which is set to take place on 13 December but has not been officially confirmed yet by Fifa. “What was so impressive was his singular focus on us and the World Cup and that project. It made sense for it to start on 1 January and made sense for Lee to finish the campaign in the Nations League. So we’re very comfortable where we are and that’s what we’ll be doing.”For now at least Tuchel’s reign is set to last for just one tournament, with his 18-month contract ending after the 2026 finals.
He was linked with Manchester United in the summer and surely would have been again should the Red Devils run out of patience with under-pressure current boss Erik ten Hag.
