Thomas Tuchel's sole mission is to win the World Cup. He's a one-hit, one-tournament appointment. I find it refreshing, writes SIMON JORDAN

Thomas Tuchel; elite coach, wins things, bit of trouble off the field.

Google his name and you’ll see he’s fallen out with people everywhere he’s been. Maybe The FA have been living under a rock - which is not that an outrageous suggestion – but even they must be aware.

His appointment is a roll of the dice and surprisingly bold and assertive for an organisation that has allowed the Premier League to run riot for 32 years.

But there is a difference between Tuchel doing an international job on an 18-month contract and the situations at PSG, Chelsea and Bayern Munich which all began with trophies and ended in tears.
