Georgia Stanway hails England's 'great' appointment of Thomas Tuchel

Georgia Stanway is pleased that the England men's team have appointed Thomas Tuchel as manager.

The Lionesses midfielder represents German giants Bayern Munich at club level and thinks that Tuchel and assistant coach Anthony Barry will be perfect for the Three Lions after she got to spend time with them both last season.

Quizzed on the controversy of England appointing a German boss, Stanway said: "I think it’s great.

"I’ve obviously got a Norwegian manager [Alexander Straus] at Bayern as well and it’s just whoever is best for the job, whoever the people feel like is suitable for the players.

"I actually had a few experiences with Tuchel at Bayern and he was really invested and really interested in the women’s game. He wanted to get to know the players.

"Both him and Ant Barry, I’ve spoken with them a few times and they were just really invested, really nice people, coming to a few games, seeing them at a few events, and they always had time for us so so far I can only say good things."

Meanwhile, Stanway is set to come up against several of her club-mates when England play Germany in an international friendly on Friday (25.10.24) - in what will be a repeat of England's memorable win in the final of Euro 2022.

She said: "The girls are just excited because the last experience they had was obviously the Euro final and despite the result, they said it was one of the most amazing days.

"The atmosphere, the fans, the whole day itself is something that is absolutely unforgettable, so I know that they want to be able to relive it again."
