Marina Granovskaia Reacts to Thomas Tuchel’s England Appointment
Former Chelsea director Marina Granovskaia has taken to social media to share her thoughts on the major football news of the week—Thomas Tuchel’s appointment as the new England manager. Tuchel, who had a successful 18-month stint at Stamford Bridge, remains a beloved figure among Chelsea fans, largely due to his role in securing their second Champions League title in 2021.
Tuchel Named England Manager
The FA confirmed on Wednesday that Tuchel will officially take over as England’s head coach starting January 1, 2025. This makes him the third non-English manager in history to lead the national team, following in the footsteps of Sven-Goran Eriksson and Fabio Capello.
Tuchel’s fondness for England, particularly from his time at Chelsea, has been well-documented. Sky journalist Kerry Hau noted that the German manager had a deep connection with the country during his tenure in the Premier League.
Marina Granovskaia’s Message to Tuchel
Marina Granovskaia, the highly respected former Chelsea director, responded to the news on Instagram, sending her congratulations to Tuchel. She posted: “Thomas knows trophies. Congratulations TT and England. World Cup 2026 just got more exciting!”
Her message reflects the excitement surrounding Tuchel’s potential to lead England to success on the global stage.
English Stars Under Tuchel
With Tuchel now in charge of the Three Lions, attention turns to the English players who previously worked under him. One standout is Bayern Munich striker Harry Kane, whose success under Tuchel could be replicated at the international level. Additionally, several Chelsea players who played under Tuchel may find that their chances of making the England squad have just improved.
As England prepares for the 2026 World Cup, there’s a sense of optimism that Tuchel’s tactical expertise and experience with English talent could bring about a new era of success for the national team.
