Wolves will be alerted to the latest development at St Georges Park as Thomas Tuchel was named England manager.
The German will take the helm in 2025, succeeding Lee Carsley in the bid to lead England towards long-overdue glory.
It’s an exciting and widely debated hire for the Three Lions, with Tuchel being a highly respected coach with an attractive CV.
While there are currently no Wolves representatives in the senior England squad, the pending change in management will alert some to the recent turn in tide at Molineux.
Gary O’Neil was linked to the England job earlier this year
Things are dull currently at Molineux, as Wolves sit bottom of the Premier League table with just one point to their name.
The Old Gold haven’t won in the league since April, emphasising the dramatic dip in form from Gary O’Neil’s side.
The recent hiring of Tuchel at England only reinforces the contrast in form and morale at Wolves, as it wasn’t long ago that O’Neil himself was linked to the job.
Back in March, fans were relieved to hear O’Neil dedicate his future to Wolves amid links to other roles, one being speculation over the England managerial position.
Rumours resurfaced again in the summer, as it was suggested that the Wolves manager was ‘admired’ by England following Gareth Southgate’s resignation.
Fast forward to now and Wolves fans are questioning whether O’Neil is the right man for the job at Molineux, as the Old Gold continue to struggle.
Wolves downfall highlighted by Thomas Tuchel hire
Considering that the England job has now been awarded to a Champions League-winning manager, and a former coach of some of the biggest clubs in Europe, it’s remarkable to consider that O’Neil was rumoured to be a candidate.
That statement comes with no disrespect to the Wolves manager, who did an admirable job in his first season in charge, but it only reflects how wildly things have changed.
O’Neil has come under great criticism for how his side have started the 2024/25 campaign, and rightfully so, as fans are desperate to see more from their team.
From being a candidate for the England job, to having his future questioned at bottom of the table Wolves, it’s been a dramatic change of fortune for O’Neil in the past few months.
