The curse of foreign coaches: you win the World Cup

The curse of foreign coaches: you win the World Cup with a coach out

According to Vi.

Background

Thomas Tuchel, who took over as German coach for England, has failed to live up to expectations and is now becoming part of the debate about the effectiveness of foreign coaches in national teams. While other nations such as Brazil and Belgium also relied on foreign coaches, the question remains whether this decision will continue to be made in the future, given the failures so far.

Why this is important

The analysis shows that foreign coaches have rarely been successful in the history of World Cups. Thomas Tuchel, who competed with England, joins a long list of coaches who failed with their national teams before the final. This raises questions about the suitability of foreign coaches for national teams, particularly in view of the upcoming 2026 World Cup.

The question of whether a foreign coach can lead his own national team to win the World Cup was again answered with "no" on Wednesday. England failed in the quarter-finals of the 2026 World Cup under German coach Thomas Tuchel. This means that only coaches from their own country win the title. A look at the past shows that it was not often that a country hired a coach who was not from their own country, but such a decision has almost always proven to be wrong. Apart from England, which brought in a German for this World Cup, Brazil has brought in an Italian (Carlo Ancelotti), Belgium has brought in a Frenchman (Rudi Garcia), Portugal has brought in a Spaniard (Roberto Martínez) and the USA has brought in an Argentinian (Mauricio Pochettino). All of these coaches failed with their teams before the final of the 2026 World Cup.

If you look at the history of World Cups, it is striking that there have only been two occasions when a team with a foreign coach reached the World Cup final. In 1958, Englishman George Raynor led the Swedish team to the final, only to watch the then 17-year-old Pelé lead Brazil to victory. In 1978, the Dutch team, led by Austrian Ernst Happel, reached the final, but were defeated by hosts Argentina. Thomas Tuchel is now one of a number of foreign coaches who failed shortly before or at the World Cup. The Chinese Xie Yongzhu failed with the Chinese national team in 2002 when he failed to qualify. Guus Hiddink, also from China, led Korea to the semi-finals as co-hosts in 2002, while Luiz Felipe Scolari's Brazilian team reached the semi-finals in 2006. In 2010, Roberto Martinez's Belgian team reached the semi-finals. Things will now be interesting for the next world championships. The next World Cup in 2026 will again be held by the USA, Canada and Mexico. But the following World Cups, 2028 and 2030, will not be held in the United States, Canada or Mexico. Where will the next World Cups be held and which coaches will be hired there? Will it be foreign coaches again who will probably not be successful? Or will you then concentrate again on coaches from your own country? This will be exciting to watch.

What happens next

After England's exit, discussion about hiring a domestic coach for the national team is expected to resurface. Thomas Tuchel could come under pressure in the coaching landscape, while the associations of the other failed teams will also have to rethink their strategies. The 2026 World Cup will be crucial to see whether countries stick to this tradition or forge new paths.
