'This is going to be a very different test' for Tuchel - Shearerpublished at 10:28 British Summer Time
Former England captain Alan Shearer says the Three Lions "need a manager who can deliver a trophy" after German Thomas Tuchel agreed to become the next boss.
"We need a trophy - it's as simple as that. We need a manager who can deliver that," Shearer said on The Rest Is Football, , externalpodcast.
"There's no doubt [Tuchel] has an incredible CV, but this is going to be a very different test for him. It's a bold move from the FA, there's no doubt about it.
"You have to win the tournament, that's what he's been hired for. They [the FA] have seen the bunch of players are the best England have had for a long, long time."
England have been without a permanent manager since Gareth Southgate resigned after eight years in charge following the Euro 2024 final defeat by Spain, with Lee Carsley appointed on an interim basis.
"Tuchel will have looked at this squad and thought there is so much talent in there, this is an unbelievable opportunity of winning the greatest trophy of all," former England striker Gary Lineker said.
