To think Thomas Tuchel isn't attractive in the slightest?

I was surprised to see an article in The Guardian recently which stated that Thomas Tuchel has been described as "bafflingly sexy" on Mumsnet. I am actually a bit flabbergasted. I don't find him attractive in the least. I get the impression that he has something of the night about him. I get emaciated vampire vibes from him. 🧛

He's certainly no Zelenskyy, who was being touted as the sexiest man alive on MM for a while - not sure if he still is though.

You're not supposed to shag him, just put the ball in the net Harry

I think he’d be great on dates for 2-3 weeks, but then withdraw significantly and be very defensive about it.

🤣🤣🤣

There have been threads about the sex appeals of ed balls and ...Jacob Rees mogg. There is always someone out there for everyone.

What a nasty, spiteful thread.

What have somebody's looks got to do with their ability to be a football coach / manager ?

I don't find him attractive at all. Each to their own though...
Jude Bellingham on tbe other hand 😘

Emaciated vampire can be sexy tbh and I might have got into that had he been a bit braver for England in the semi. Now I’ve got the ick

ohdelay · 17/07/2026 20:07

He's a bit John Malkovich so can see how he would be considered attractive.

PrettyLittleRose · 17/07/2026 19:30

Yeah, because the OP is going to do that! 😂

Show quote history

That's precisely my point...

SquirrelRed · 17/07/2026 19:23

How bloody rude. Why don't you post a photo of yourself so I can start a thread on how you're not 'attractive in the slightest' and get everyone to pile on.

NormalAuntFanny · 17/07/2026 10:17

He's like an upscaled Gollum

Good description! 😂

He is HUGELY unattractive IMO. I don't understand how ANYone can say he is 'sexy' and attractive!

Just NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

SetTheWorldOnFire84 · 17/07/2026 19:19

He is remarkably plain and ordinary looking. He is also bloody useless

AgitaAndroid · 17/07/2026 18:59

Oh don’t be daft! The OP is just riding a wave (though belatedly) and hoping the thread will appear in the DM. 😂😂

ObliviousCoalmine · 17/07/2026 18:37

YABU for starting a thread to criticise the way someone looks, and essentially encouraging others to expand on that. Shitty behaviour.

VanilleFraise · 17/07/2026 18:35

He does have a very nice smile

the80sweregreat · 17/07/2026 18:17

He has ‘ something about him ‘ as my late mil would say ! I often think that women are generally more disposed to more unusual looking men than the other way around.

And if there was a post stating "Well that Claire Balding is no oil painting but Emma Raducanu is a hottie" what would the replies be?
Does a female sports competitor have to justify how they look ?
How judgey and superficial ?

There was a thread on Erling Haaland that was bordering on cruel with some of the comments .

They aren't films stars or pop stars or models .
Who cares what they look like .

I was just about to say this. Posters would be scathing about how we mustnt judge peoples appearance and 'how dare women talk about other women like this'

And then someone, usually me, comes along and says this is sometimes said about men and then Im shouted down because threads and posts NEVER slag off mens appearance and objectify them.

Apparently

Just leaving these here

I didn’t like him much, but he has that sculptured face. Some make models look like they have been carved out of wood and so does he

Userexcuser · 17/07/2026 10:39

Didn't know being attractive was a criteria for a football manager or countless other jobs.

Quite.
Often the case for women though.

the80sweregreat · 17/07/2026 11:22

I’d love to be as skinny as he is and his probably even skinnier as tv puts pounds on you!
He definitely lost weight over the tournament too.

LuckyHazelFox · 17/07/2026 11:22

fartotheleftside · 17/07/2026 10:17

He'd be hotter if he'd managed to keep us in the world cup

😆 🤣

SteelCityRose · 17/07/2026 11:21

Tuchel entered a football tournament not a beauty pageant.
Fed up of people being judged on their looks.

SaySomethingMan · 17/07/2026 11:14

Interesting, I’ve never liked at him and thought of attraction.
I wonder if we’d make a post like this about, say England’s female women’s national football manager.
