Less than a year after penning his first contract with the FA, Thomas Tuchel will not be entering the England football annals for all the right reasons.
Champions League and Club World Cup winner with Chelsea, Bundesliga champion with Bayern Munich and triumphant in Ligue 1 with Paris Saint-Germain, Tuchel's next job was his most nerve-wracking yet - attempting to lead England to World Cup supremacy.
Including caretaker managers, the German is the 21st man to take charge of the Three Lions, and 19 of the previous 20 departed the Wembley offices without a major honour to show for their efforts.
Up until July 15, 2026, Tuchel had the chance to follow in Sir Alf Ramsey's footsteps, having guided England to another World Cup semi-final thanks to gritty knockout-stage wins over DR Congo, Mexico and Norway in North America.
However, reigning champions Argentina proved a class above in the semi-finals, even if England did take the lead through Anthony Gordon, as Lionel Messi inspired a late Albiceleste fightback with two assists for Enzo Fernandez and Lautaro Martinez in a 2-1 victory.
There would ordinarily be little shame in losing to the World Cup holders, but Tuchel soon came under fire from all corners - pundits, fans and press alike - for adopting a backs-against-the-wall approach when England were holding on to a one-goal lead.
Nevertheless, the German still oversaw the nation's second-best World Cup finish courtesy of an enthralling 6-4 win over France in the bronze-medal match, and he will be leading England into Euro 2028 at the very least.
Following England's gut-wrenching semi-final defeat and chaotic third-place success, Sports Mole provides a comprehensive, filterable list of all England senior men's managers, so you can see exactly where Tuchel ranks in various categories:

Thomas Tuchel's England statistics analysed
With a smaller sample size, accurately analysing Tuchel's England data compared to his peers would not give a conclusive picture into his tenure so far, but the early signs are positive for the ex-Chelsea boss.
From 22 matches in charge of the Three Lions so far, Tuchel boasts 17 victories, two draws and three defeats for a win ratio of 77.3%, the third-highest of any man to manage the England senior men's team - caretaker or permanent.
The only men to post a superior win rate were the one-game Sam Allardyce, and interim head coach Lee Carsley, who triumphed in five of his six matches in charge in between Gareth Southgate and Tuchel.
At the other end of the win spectrum, Allardyce's fellow one-match men Stuart Pearce and Peter Taylor are two of the three managers to post a 0% victory rate in charge of England, while Howard Wilkinson oversaw one draw and one defeat during his two-game stint in 1999.
When it comes to coaches who took charge of at least 50 games as England manager, World Cup champion Ramsey boasts the best win rate, prevailing in 61.1% of his 113 showdowns at the helm.
Ron Greenwood is a close second, winning exactly two-thirds of his 55 matches (33), while Southgate triumphed in 59.8% of his 102 contests, only suffering 17 defeats across his eight-year spell.
