Reid, who played for England in the 1986 World Cup, made his remarks on BBC Breakfast following the team’s World Cup semi-final defeat.
Both pundits and the media have scrutinized Tuchel’s position following the World Cup exit. While some critics have questioned his tactical decisions in the semi-final, figures like Reid argue that continuity is essential for the squad.
“I’m disappointed by the result, but the better team won. Argentina are technically good footballers, but physically they’re hard, and they get at you… that’s where you’ve got to keep your discipline.
“We’ve got to a semi-final, you’ve got to stick with Tuchel, you can’t keep changing managers.”
