Thomas Tuchel under fire after England lost to an African team for the first time ever
Head coach of the England national team, Thomas Tuchel, has come under intense scrutiny after his side lost 3-1 to Senegal in an international friendly game on June 10, 2025.
Senegal thrashed The Three Lions 3-1 in a friendly game in England on June 10, 2025, in an enthralling encounter.
Harry Kane broke the deadlock in the 11th minute as they pressed for the opener from the start of the game.
However, Senegal came back into the match with goals from Ismaila Sarr, Cheikh Sabaly, and Habib Diarra, giving them a convincing 3-1 win and making history as the first African side to defeat England.
This sparked outrage among English fans who were livid about the quality of football the team played during the game and the lack of tactical identity from the coach.
Hence, a section of supporters has called for the manager to be dismissed, believing he may not be able to lead them to win the much-coveted World Cup trophy that has eluded them for so long.
Meanwhile, others have called for the manager to be given more time to play more games and settle before making judgments about his future.
Since taking over as the Three Lions’ manager from Gareth Southgate, the German coach has played four matches, won three, and lost one.
There have been concerns that the slim-margin wins by the star-studded team are an indication that the team is gradually regressing.
