Leboeuf: England should not hire a German coach, Portugal, Spain and France have a greater chance of winning the World Cup

England has won 8 games and conceded 0 goals in this World Cup qualifier, but French star Leboeuf said that the England team should not hire German coach Tuchel to coach.

In the last round of World Cup qualifying, England defeated Albania 2-0 away from home, ending perfectly. Tuchel became the head coach of the England team in January this year and led the team to successfully qualify for next year's World Cup. Leboeuf first said: "I admire Tuchel very much, but I think a football power like England does not need a German coach to win the World Cup. From a cultural point of view, it is difficult for me to accept this situation."

Leboeuf then said: "Similarly, I will not be happy to see an English coach coaching the French national team. We once had a foreign coach, it seems to be a Romanian coach, in In the 1960s, I think football powers should use domestic coaches. When Tuchel was nominated as the coach of the England team, I said that I was not satisfied with it."

Then Leboeuf said: "Of course I respect Tuchel and the English Football Association, and if he can lead the team to win the World Cup, it will be a good thing for them. But in my opinion, there will always be problems with the England team at some point. Why I say ‘wait and see’ is why I will rank Portugal, Spain, Argentina and France ahead of England when it comes to their chances of winning the World Cup next summer.”

Leboeuf also pointed out: “You can’t deny the talent of the England team. If they can find a chemical reaction, then they have a chance (to win). But the biggest problem facing any England coach is that in the past. Especially when I was playing, the club was more important than the national team. The England internationals were against each other every week, so it was difficult to find a chemistry with the national team. Now it seems that they have started to respect each other and want to work together. However, I don't think England are at the same level as the other strong teams."
