Wayne Rooney (39), a living legend of English football, expressed discomfort over the appointment of Thomas Tuchel as coach of the English Football Association (FA).

British media reported on the 18th (Korea time) 'Wayne Rooney, who is in the process of fostering England's legend and leader, was surprised by the appointment of foreign Tuchel as England's national team coach'



According to these reports, Rooney said, `I acknowledge that Tuchel is an outstanding coach, but I was surprised to see that the FA has been operating a leadership training program, but has not found the right person here and appointed Tuchel.'

Rooney's 'Surprise'The expression " means that it is difficult to accept the FA's decision immediately, and the interpretation that it is a circumferential criticism is gaining strength.

Rooney was "I was also part of the FA leadership program. The FA has built up leadership skills over the last 10 to 15 years, and it's been great"English football is becoming a stage where young coaches play." Still, it is surprising that the FA did not come forward and select these coaches.

Still, Rooney "Anyway, the FA decided to head coach Tuchel. I wish Tuchel all the best" also sent a cheer.



Meanwhile, the FA announced on the 16th that Tuchel, who led Bayern Munich, Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain, will lead the English national team for 18 months from 2025.
