James Corden suggests Prince Harry for England coaching role

Summary

James Corden has playfully proposed that Prince Harry should join the England coaching staff following the team's recent World Cup performance. England achieved their best World Cup finish since 1966, securing third place, but their elimination by Argentina raised concerns. Corden noted that Harry's perspective on England's mindset during the match was insightful. The Duke of Sussex attributed the team's collapse to a lack of belief in their ability to maintain their lead. Corden and former player Rio Ferdinand echoed this sentiment, with Ferdinand inviting Harry to discuss football on his podcast. Corden humorously suggested that, after coach Thomas Tuchel departs post-Euro 2028, Harry could assist Ferdinand as coach.
