And Owen, who scored 40 goals in 89 appearances for England, admitted his disappointment about the next manager not being homegrown in a post on X, formally known as Twitter .

That news was confirmed on Wednesday morning.

Former Bayern Munich president Uli Hoeneß is one man who has been left unimpressed by the appointment of Thomas Tuchel as the new England manager, branding the German a 'disaster'.

IAN HERBERT: The England manager's job held out a fascination for Pep Guardiola more than a decade ago and when the chance to attempt to recruit him arose, the Football Association blew it. That opportunity presented itself in 2012 when Guardiola, exhausted by four years managing Barcelona , had left the club and England had parted company with Fabio Capello. An intermediary contacted David Bernstein, then the FA chairman, on Guardiola's behalf, during the search for Capello's successor, signalling the Spaniard's desire to speak to them about the position.

A former Premier League and England star has revealed it is costing him money to continue extending his professional career after dropping down to play in the French fourth-tier. The 35-year-old has endured a meteoric drop from the heights of playing for Liverpool and Newcastle amongst other English top-flight sides, but is evidently keen to continue playing.

COMMENT BY JEFF POWELL: Lee Carsley has made his decision. He will not sing the national anthem as he assumes charge of England for the first time. Now it is up to the Football Association to take theirs. Sack him. Ideally, right now. Just before kick-off if needs be. Call him interim, temporary, stand-in or caretaker manager, this is no job for an Englishman who refuses to pay even so much as lip service to our realm. Carsley was born, bred and lives in and around Birmingham. This is more of a betrayal than when England turned to foreign managers. We all know how that misadventure turned out under Sven Goran Eriksson and Fabio Capello: Still not so much as a silver tea-pot since 1966 and all that World Cup jazz.

OLIVER HOLT: The FA have made a bold and clever choice in appointing Lee Carsley as England's interim manager in the wake of the departure of Gareth Southgate. They have avoided, so far, the trap of alighting upon a washed-up boss such as Jose Mourinho, just because he has celebrity status and would please the fans for a while. England have gone down that route before and they have been burned before. Fabio Capello was a winner in club football but his reign as England manager was one of the most dispiriting in recent times. This is the smart move. In many ways, it is the brave move, too, because the FA would have known they would be criticised for a perceived lack of ambition.

UEFA has released its technical report following the Euro 2024 final that saw Spain be crowned European Champions with a 2-1 victory against England. The report, which is drafted by a panel of UEFA's Technical Observers, assesses the trends, data and coaching observations throughout the tournament and aims to deliver practical insights for coaches currently operating in the game. The panel, which is made up of several renowned coaches - including Rafael Benitez, Fabio Capello, Frank de Boer, Avram Grant, David Moyes and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, among others - have also delivered their verdicts on how Gareth Southgate's side were beaten by Spain in the final.

IAN LADYMAN: A couple of years ago Gary Neville spoke to this Mail Sport about what it used to be like to play for England. 'It could be hard and it could be scary,' the former England defender said. 'The media, the pressure. It was intimidating and there were times that made it difficult to enjoy.' Neville isn't the type to be fazed by much but that was old England. That was the England of managers such as Sven Goran Eriksson, Fabio Capello and even, a decade later, Roy Hodgson . A bad environment and at times even worse results.

Celebrities and former England stars have been seen arriving at the Olympiastadion in Berlin for England's Euro 2024 final clash against Spain. The Three Lions are gunning for their first major trophy in a men's international tournament since the 1966 World Cup.

Fabio Capello has called Brazil legend Ronaldo the 'best player' he managed at Real Madrid from 2006 to 2007. In four and a half seasons in the Spanish capital, Ronaldo, affectionately known as R9 and 'Il Fenomeno', scored 103 goals, becoming the fifth foreigner at the time to have netted a century for Los Blancos. But although littered with personal and team silverware, including two World Cups and two Ballon d'Or awards, Ronaldo's career was blighted by injuries.
