BBC pundit Danny Murphy called for Thomas Tuchel to be sacked live on television, standing just yards away from the England manager before the World Cup bronze medal match against France.
Murphy's On-Air Criticism
Speaking on the BBC before the match in Miami, Murphy said: "I think he will keep his job, but I don't think he should. He's failed, and he's failed in the same way we've failed before. It's the biggest tournament in the world, and he had his opportunity. I think he probably will get the vote of confidence, but I think they should make a change."
Tuchel was within earshot as Murphy made the remarks, which came after England's 2-1 semi-final defeat to Argentina. The German coach has faced intense criticism, with Three Lions fans jeering his name when it was announced over the stadium microphone.
Tuchel's Stance
Despite the backlash, Tuchel has insisted he has no regrets about his decisions during the tournament. The former Chelsea boss led England to the semi-finals but fell short against the reigning champions.
Murphy's comments reflect lingering anger among fans and pundits about England's exit, which many saw as a missed opportunity. The bronze medal match against France was seen by some as a chance to salvage pride, but Murphy's blunt assessment underscored the disappointment.
