According to The Sun, Tuchel ranked fourth in a World Cup coach attractiveness list.

Tuchel might not be satisfied if England finishes fourth in this summer's World Cup; he also wouldn't be happy if they lost to Sweden in the third-place playoff. But he would undoubtedly be pleased to be rated as the fourth most attractive coach in the tournament.

Among the 48 coaches preparing to lead their teams to the United States, Mexico, and Canada, Tuchel was just one step away from the top three. However, the England coach was surpassed by another former Chelsea manager, Potter, who led Sweden to a World Cup spot through the play-offs.

A study by Live Football Tickets considered multiple factors, including the "golden ratio" (facial mathematical symmetry), as well as height, age, and coaching achievements, to give a "final attractiveness score" out of 10.

Although Tuchel has a "chiseled jawline," his facial symmetry was lower than some of his competitors. However, his height of 1.91 meters and a 75% win rate earned him 8.43 points.

This score was slightly lower than Potter, who succeeded him at Chelsea, and scored 8.51 points.

Australia coach Tony Popovic ranked second with a score of 8.99. At 1.93 meters, he is the tallest coach in this World Cup.

The top spot went to Algeria's 62-year-old coach Petkovic, who was described as a "heartthrob" with a score of 9.30. Petkovic's golden ratio is 62.25%, he is 1.88 meters tall, and has a coaching win rate of 74%.

Tuchel ranked higher than Fae (Côte d'Ivoire, 8.37 points), Lopetegui (Qatar, 8.32 points), and even Nagelsmann (Germany, 8.29 points).

The remaining spots in the top ten belonged to Koeman (Netherlands, 8.24 points), Murat Yakin (Switzerland, 8.23 points), and Christiansen (Panama, 7.89 points).

However, this is not good news for a former Manchester United manager. Austria coach Rangnick ranked 34th with 6.53 points.

Additionally, among other former Chelsea managers, Ancelotti (Brazil, 6.95 points, 27th) and Pochettino (USA, 6.67 points, 30th) were positioned on either side of Deschamps (France, 6.82 points, 28th) and Steve Clarke (Scotland, 6.68 points, 29th).

Former Leeds United duo Bielsa (Uruguay, 5.04 points) and Marsch (Canada, 4.94 points) ranked 44th and 45th respectively. Advocaat, returning to the Curaçao coaching role, ranked 39th with 5.92 points.

As for New Zealand coach Bazley, he ranked last at 48th with 4.31 points. At the World Cup, he might bring a stronger fighting spirit to prove that this list doesn't tell the whole story.
