The ex England and United boss is certain Thomas Tuchel will do a good job in charge of the senior men’s squad. But Taylor is disappointed Graham Potter was overlooked for the role and is concerned by the lack of opportunities coming the way of home-grown managers. “It's a worry and I think it's wrong,” stressed Taylor.
“Foreign managers out there only get the better jobs where maybe the English managers don't get those opportunities. “That means they then don't get the success that others get. “I'm not so sure it's deserved and I do believe there are a lot of English managers out there who could do the job.
“I am a Graham Potter fan and I think he would’ve been a great choice personally.” And Taylor feels appointing Potter would have been a boost to other English managers. “If you look closely at Graham Potter's record at the clubs he's been at the only one it's been a little bit difficult for him is at Chelsea and he's not the only one that’s happened to,” said Taylor.
“That's more to do with the recruitment of the players who were already there but he would’ve done a great job for England. “I think that would also have encouraged more English coaches and managers to keep working hard at their pro licences and things like that.” However, the Football Association have opted to appoint Tuchel on an 18 month deal which starts in January.
And Taylor is confident the German will succeed in the role. “I'm not surprised because they say he's a fan.
