And Woycheck clearly isn’t a football fan as he tweeted about the messages he had received during the Three Lions’ draw with Russia.
His post, which has been retweeted almost 5,000 times, read: “Apparently an English soccer coach is doing something bad because Twitter is blaming me for it.”
Disgruntled fans — and Sky News political editor, Faisal Islam — hilariously, tweeted Woycheck to complain about tactics substitutions and the bizarre decision to let Harry Kane take corners.
Meanwhile, @avb, whose Twitter handle is the same former Chelsea and Tottenham manager Andre Villas-Boas' nickname, feels Mike's pain, saying: "@woy welcome to the club".
