An Englishman should become the new England manager instead of Pep Guardiola.That’s the opinion of talkSPORT co-host Rory Jennings, who insisted he would choose Frank Lampard over Guardiola if he was in charge.Some fans have called for England to axe Tuchel after their World Cup exitGettyEngland head coach Thomas Tuchel has faced plenty of criticism and calls for the sack after the semi-final defeat to Argentina.The Three Lions lost 2-1 despite taking the lead, and some of Tuchel’s decisions came under the spotlight amid the collapse in Atlanta.Guardiola, who has left Manchester City after delivering six Premier League titles in ten seasons, has been a suggested replacement.The Spaniard had even agreed personal terms over taking the England job in 2024, shortly after Gareth Southgate stepped down.However, he had a change of heart and backed out. Instead, deciding to sign a two-year contract extension with City.Despite him being one of the greatest managers in history, the Spaniard should not be given the role according to Jennings.“How patriotic can you be when you’ve got a German manager?” He said of Tuchel, who is set to stay, on World Cup GameDay Live. “How much patriotism can a German manager instil in an English team?“That’s why I’m so keen on the next England manager, which hopefully comes along very soon, being English. I had an argument with your old mucker, Mr [Jason] Cundy, because I was saying…“He went to the extreme to try and make me look foolish, which is what he does… we were talking about who should be the next England manager and I said it has to be English for various reasons. “And he went, ‘So, you’d say not to Guardiola?’ I was like, ‘Well, kind of, yes, I would say no to Guardiola, because the point is it has to be an Englishman’. In my opinion, it has to be English. Guardiola is a managerial icon, but Jennings would not want him in the jobGetty“We have 100 years of World Cups, 100 years of data to learn from, nobody’s ever won it with a foreign manager. Brazil have tried this tournament with [Carlo] Ancelotti, and went out with a whimper.“We’ve tried, and went out with a whimper. Why are we ignoring 100 years worth of history that teaches you to go with it?”Pep or Frank?Jamie O’Hara also weighed in by highlighting Argentina and their head coach Lionel Scaloni, who won seven caps with them as a player.“I have to say, when I watched Argentina, in terms of their mentality to win… Scaloni on the side, when they scored the second goal (against England), it’s like he wanted to cry his eyes out, the passion was filling up in him. “The players as well, the way they react and the way they are, it is like winning at all costs, defeat is not acceptable. I feel like, maybe we are a bit soft, maybe we have got a bit of a soft underbelly.”O’Hara then pulled Jennings up on his Guardiola claim, and asked him if he would choose Coventry City boss Lampard over Guardiola.Jennings confirmed that he would pick Lampard over Guardiola for the roleGetty“In this circumstance, it would be Lampard, because it has to be an English manager,” Jennings responded.“I know you’re looking despairingly at me, I’m not for one second saying that, ‘At the moment, I believe Frank Lampard is a greater manager than Pep Guardiola’, I obviously don’t think that.“I think Guardiola is the second-best manager in world football. Luis Enrique is the best manager in world football, I don’t want Luis Enrique either, in the way that if you asked an Argentinian who the best manager is in world football, he’d say Luis Enrique. Tuchel is set to remain as England boss through to Euro 2028Getty“He wouldn’t want him to be the Argentina manager, because there is a very particular set of skills that is needed, that I just don’t think you can have unless you understand the nation. “Thomas Tuchel, ultimately, he would have been more upset when Paraguay dumped Germany out, than Argentina (beating England).”
