00:00Thomas Tuchel is the manager so let's congratulate him for the FA and Thomas for a big job and
00:17I wish him England just for the fact that of course I'm nine years here, the very very
00:24best for both of them.
00:25All the best to Thomas and nothing more. I think if people in charge decide for him,
00:33I think it's because they are convinced and I'm not the one that I can judge if it's right
00:39or wrong. The only thing I can say, all the best to him, he's tough.
00:42They're going to learn a lot. I think he's one of the best coaches in the world, in my
00:47opinion without a doubt. His experience, the way his teams are set up, very exciting times.
00:54I spoke to a few of the players, the way they had his mind in their faces, that's always
00:58a good sign.
00:59I think a very good choice from the FA. He's a top class manager, proved himself, creating
01:11top teams, creating teams who win. They have the opportunity to win big championships,
01:20the Euros or the World Cup.
01:22I think they've got a fantastic manager in Thomas. He's got an outstanding record, particularly
01:26in knockout football. Highly respected and a great group of players they've got at the
01:32moment who are just beginning to emerge on a global basis. Exciting opportunity.
01:40No, nothing from the English federation. I think they've chosen a very good coach,
01:48tactically very strong. I think he's shown that throughout his career. I wish him the best.
01:54And about Thomas, yes, he had a very good reputation in England, so I'm not surprised
02:03that he's now getting a top job there. Let's see.
02:09I think Thomas is great. I'll start the other way around. I think he's a very, very good
02:14choice for English football. We know that Thomas is an outstanding coach and that he
02:19knows English football from the FA. From a German point of view, it's dangerous, because
02:23with the English team and Thomas as a coach, he's a very big competitor.
