Wayne Rooney thinks the Football Association should stick with Thomas Tuchel as England head coach unless a move for Pep Guardiola is possible. Tuchel has retained the backing of the FA after England's 2-1 defeat to Argentina in Wednesday's World Cup semi-final. The German was criticised for his substitutions as England squandered a 1-0 lead late on, but says he intends to stay to lead the Three Lions into Euro 2028.
