Unlike most of the population this morning, the Football Association has no doubts about Thomas Tuchel.
Having backed him before the World Cup, it views England reaching the semi-finals as an achievement so Tuchel is safe.
He will not trigger the performance clauses that would have seen him ejected before a home Euros.
Having sat with FA chief executive Mark Bullingham in Kansas City a month ago, the strength of his conviction when it came to Tuchel was striking.
But clearly, things have to change if England are going to capitalise on home advantage in two years’ time.
