Russell Martin: English Coaches Deserve More Opportunities
Southampton boss Russell Martin believes many English coaches are capable of managing the national team following the appointment of Thomas Tuchel as England’s new coach. Tuchel, a former Chelsea and Bayern Munich manager, will take over from Gareth Southgate in January, making him the third foreign manager for England.
Gary Neville called Tuchel “the best available manager” but criticized the decision, highlighting issues within English coaching. Wayne Rooney expressed surprise at the choice, noting the FA’s strong platform for developing young coaches. Martin praised Tuchel but emphasized the lack of opportunities for homegrown managers. Leicester boss Steve Cooper and Everton’s Sean Dyche echoed these sentiments, acknowledging the challenges faced by English coaches in today’s football landscape.

Football legend Thierry Henry has reacted to Lionel Messi’s emotional response after Argentina lost the 2026 FIFA World Cup final to Spain.
It can be recalled that Spain defeated Argentina to lift the 2026 World Cup trophy. While Spain celebrated their victory, cameras captured Messi in tears after the final whistle.
Henry said Messi’s reaction showed just how much the game still means to him.
“Look at what it means to him. If you ever had any doubt about whether the guy still has any fire in his belly, look at him. Look at what it means.”
He added “You won already. And look at the guy. Look at the passion, desire and the love that he has for his country and how much he puts into it.”
Football legend Rio Ferdinand has shared his prediction ahead of the FIFA World Cup final between Spain and Argentina.
While many have backed different teams to lift the trophy, Ferdinand said some fans have underestimated Argentina’s quality.
He said “I find it difficult to bet against Argentina. They have demonstrated remarkable character, determination, and resilience. I believe people have been somewhat disrespectful by calling them an average team; they are not.”
He continued “I think it is inappropriate and disrespectful. If you are saying that, you clearly do not watch enough football, as they are an excellent team, and in challenging situations, they become even better and stronger. However, I do believe Spain will win the match.”
