'Sack him now'... Thomas Tuchel slated by ex-Premier League star following England vs Argentina

Thomas Tuchel has received backlash from a former Tottenham Hotspur player after England’s loss to Argentina.

In a dramatic clash, ‘The Three Lions’ crumbled under the pressure, losing 2-1 in a defeat that resulted in a heartbreaking exit from the FIFA World Cup 2026 at the semi-final stage.

Jamie O’Hara wants England to sack Thomas Tuchel

With 60 years having passed since England last qualified for a World Cup final, fans believed tonight was the night that they’d finally secure the opportunity to grace the grandest stage in all of sport once again.

Alas, it wasn’t meant to be. Yet, it seemed so close. Anthony Gordon scored an epic goal to put England in front. But then, rather than go all out for another, Thomas Tuchel made the decision to go ultra-defensive.

While this call would’ve been praised had his side won, they ultimately fell short. Lionel Messi assisted two goals to dump the 1966 champions out of the tournament. And Jamie O’Hara was furious.

During a talkSPORT watchalong, he raged: “We’re out. It’s the worst decision ever; it’s a sackable offence. Argentina have won it in the 92nd minute. Thomas Tuchel, you should be embarrassed. Sack him now, embarrassing. How can you make that decision with 25 minutes to go? He’s all over the place. He’s absolutely bottled it. We’re out of the World Cup because of Thomas Tuchel.”
