The English head coach still has the support of those at the Football Association, but there is a possibility that the position becomes unattainable if the national team <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2022\/09\/20\/fabio-capello-england-chances-world-cup\/\" target=\"_self\">has a poor outing in Qatar<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read More<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2022\/10\/06\/manchester-city-kyle-walker-injury-world-cup\/\" target=\"_self\">England Face Blow as Kyle Walker Undergoes Injury for Groin Injury<\/a><\/p>\n<p>In his managerial career so far, Tuchel has never taken over an international side. He has a pretty strong CV under his belt, having managed the likes of Borussia Dortmund and Paris Saint-Germain before Chelsea &#8211; whom he helped win the Champions League title in the 2021\/22 season. With strong calls among the England fans to have Southgate replaced soon, Tuchel could be a strong option if the decision-makers decide to replace him after the World Cup.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Thomas Tuchel rejects three job offers, including two Premier League clubs.<\/p>\n<p>Waiting out for dream offer he believes could become available in early 2023. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/M1QOfFANYx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">pic.twitter.com\/M1QOfFANYx<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; SPORTbible (@sportbible) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/sportbible\/status\/1580717600275066880?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">October 14, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<h3>Tuchel Waiting for the Right Opportunity to Come Back to Football<\/h3>\n<p>Since being surprisingly let go by Chelsea after a shaky start to the season, the German manager has had a few offers to come back. He has had job offers from two clubs in England and one in Spain as well, but turned down all of them as they didn&#8217;t suit his requirements for the next chapter of his career.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read More<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2022\/10\/02\/chelsea-christian-pulisic-graham-potter\/\" target=\"_self\">Graham Potter Excited to Work With Christian Pulisic at Chelsea<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Tuchel had voiced his shock and sadness to have left Chelsea sometime after being fired, but hasn&#8217;t really been seen around the football pitch since.
