In a fiery interview with Sky Sports, Neville stated, "I think we're doing ourselves a disservice by accepting that Thomas Tuchel is better than any of our other English coaches. We've lost a clear identity of who we are as a nation, we haven't built a style."

Neville believes that the FA's choice to hire a foreign manager sends a negative message to English coaches, suggesting a lack of faith in their abilities. He fears that this trend could have long-term consequences for English football, as it may discourage aspiring coaches and hinder the development of a distinctive English playing style.

"It's a disappointment that they've gone for a foreign coach," Neville continued. "It's already difficult to get that job in the Premier League, so there's a sense of disappointment that they've gone for a foreign coach."

The former England captain emphasized the importance of nurturing homegrown talent, both on and off the pitch. He argued that by appointing foreign managers, the FA is missing out on the opportunity to develop a coaching culture that is uniquely English.

Neville's comments have sparked a heated debate within the English football community. While some fans and pundits have praised Tuchel's appointment, citing his impressive track record and tactical acumen, others share Neville's concerns about the long-term implications for English football.

Critics of the FA's decision argue that the organization should be doing more to support English coaches and provide them with opportunities to develop their skills. They believe that by appointing foreign managers, the FA is perpetuating a cycle of dependency on overseas talent.

Proponents of Tuchel's appointment counter that the German coach is one of the best in the world and that his appointment is a sign of the FA's ambition to win major tournaments. They argue that Tuchel's experience and tactical nous will be invaluable in helping England achieve their goals.

As the debate rages on, it is clear that the appointment of Thomas Tuchel as England manager has struck a nerve in English football. Neville's comments have highlighted a deep-seated concern about the future of the national game and the role that English coaches should play in its development.
