Explained in plain English
What is a head coach's role?
A head coach in football, like Thomas Tuchel for England, is the main person responsible for a team's performance. They pick the players, decide tactics, and manage the squad. When things go wrong, as in England's semi-final defeat, they often face the most criticism for their decisions, especially tactical ones.
