The Three Lions were leading 1-0 in the semifinal thanks to Anthony Gordon's second-half opener, but Tuchel's substitutions changed the game.The England boss tried to hold on to that lead by going defensive, but the risky tactic backfired.

Lionel Messi was given the space to dictate the game, as Enzo Fernandez and Lautaro Martinez found the net to complete a remarkable comeback in Atlanta.No foreign coach has ever won the World Cup, a statistic that will remain intact following England's exit.Upon seeing this fact, Owen took to X and wrote: "There should be no such thing as foreign coaches in international football."Despite England's loss to Argentina and Owen's opinion, Tuchel has no intention of stepping down after Saturday's third-place playoff against France. He wants to lead England at Euro 2028 on home soil.Thomas Tuchel failed to lead England to World Cup glory(Image: Getty Images)"First of all, the World Cup is not over," said Tuchel when asked about his future."There is still a match to play, that we are not looking forward to so much to, but there is still a match to play."Of course, then we keep on going.

I have a contract until the home Euros and I'm looking forward to that even like now it is difficult to look that far ahead."England's foreign coachesTuchel is England's third foreign head coach.Sven-Goran Eriksson, a Swede, became the first man to take on that challenge when he was appointed in 2001, leading England to the quarterfinals of two World Cups and the last eight of Euro 2004 before leaving in 2006.Italian coach Fabio Capello was in charge of England between 2007 and 2012, but he only oversaw one major international tournament: the 2010 World Cup. The latter turned a struggling England side into one of the world's best, leading the Three Lions to two European finals and the semifinals of the 2018 World Cup.It was hoped that Tuchel could be the man to finally end England's 60-year wait for major silverware.
