ROY KEANE has called out Thomas Tuchel for his brutal verdict on Gareth Southgate's England at Euro 2024.

Just minutes before Tuchel took charge for the first time, ITV pundit Keane defended the German's predecessor.

Roy Keane told Ian Wright and Co that Thomas Tuchel might have gone too far

The new Three Lions' boss brought back Marcus Rashford to start in the World Cup qualifier against Albania at Wembley.

Myles Lewis-Skelly and Dan Burn made their debuts, with Liverpool's Curtis Jones also starting.

The intriguing new look follows Tuchel claiming Southgate's men lacked “excitement” last summer despite reaching their second Euros final in a row.

But Manchester United legend Keane reckons the ex-Chelsea chief went too far.

The former midfield hardman said: “It seems a bit harsh on Gareth – but I know where he's coming from.”
