MINI has marked Thomas Tuchel’s debut as the first German manager of England’s men’s football team with a playful tribute outside Wembley Stadium. In true MINI fashion, the brand reserved him a prime parking spot — using a towel.
The stunt, which riffs on the classic stereotype of German holidaymakers claiming sun loungers at dawn, sees MINI take the tradition up a notch by “reserving” the best parking space for Tuchel ahead of England’s match on Friday, 21 March.

Celebrating the blend of English spirit and German precision, MINI highlights its own roots — a British icon rejuvenated by German engineering under the BMW Group since 2001.

The brand says Tuchel’s appointment reflects the same winning formula: great ingredients, a fresh perspective, and a few new ideas.

MINI’s tribute playfully nods to its dual heritage while offering a warm and witty welcome to Tuchel, reinforcing that whether it’s football, design, or poolside politics — German management really does go a long way.
