Does it matter England's new manager is German?

As England named German Thomas Tuchel as their new manager, Gabby and Mark chat about whether his nationality is really a big deal and if he's the right man for the job. German football journalist, Raphael Honigstein, tells us the German reaction, what he'll be like in the dressing room and why he's not starting till January. And with that FA manager search now complete, we ask how you find the best talent in the world? Is data a revolution or a threat? We get both sides of the story from former Brentford, QPR and Rangers manager, Mark Warburton, former Director of Research at Liverpool, Ian Graham, and Tom Worville, Head of Football at the sports analytics company, Prospect. Plus, how young should you start looking for that talent? We get the thoughts of Arsenal Youth Scout (Talent ID lead for North London & Herts) Harry Charalambous.
