England fans heard singing '10 German bombers' chant before Ireland clash as Thomas Tuchel prepares to take managerial reins

<p>Last month, the FA announced the appointment of former Chelsea and Bayern Munich boss Tuchel as England's new manager as he becomes the first German coach in history to manage the Three Lions. Tuchel's appointment divided opinion as many felt that the <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/fa-ruined-st-georges-park-legacy-thomas-tuchel-ex-england-boss-claims-homegrown-coaches-let-down/blta9860eaf9309304e" target="_blank">FA's decision had let down homegrown coaches</a>.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>While the 51-year-old's appointment has already been confirmed, he will only take charge of the national team from January 1. Interim Lee Carsley managed England one last time on Sunday as <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/england-player-ratings-vs-ireland-harry-kane-jude-bellingham/blt6c0a6c9c7468f658" target="_blank">Harry Kane and Co. thrashed Ireland 5-0</a> in their final UEFA Nations League group game. According to <a href="https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2024/11/18/thomas-tuchel-awkward-england-fans-anti-german-chanting/" target="_blank"><em>The Telegraph</em></a>, a section of the England fans were heard singing the offensive '10 German bombers' at Wembley Park tube station after the match.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>The infamous chant in question references the Royal Air Force's victories during the Second World War to the tune of the traditional folk song, 'She’ll Be Coming ’Round the Mountain. In the past, efforts were made to stop supporters from singing the chant at England's games and they were even warned against it during the 2024 European Championship by the local German police.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>While the German boss will arrive in the United Kingdom on the first day of the year, he will not get the opportunity to stand on the touchline at Wembley until March 2025.</p>
