Last season, Harry Kane had the opportunity to work with Thomas Tuchel at Bayern Munich, and he had nothing but praise for the former Chelsea manager. Tuchel, who is now being linked with the England job, has been described by Kane as a "fantastic coach and a fantastic person."
Currently, the Football Association is still looking for a permanent replacement for Gareth Southgate. In the meantime, Lee Carsley has been appointed as interim manager for England's six Nations League games in September, October, and November. It has been reported that the FA has been in talks with Tuchel and that the 51-year-old is open to managing the national side.
Kane, who is the captain of the England team, had the chance to work with Tuchel last year and has shown his support for the FA's approach. In an interview with Sky Sports Germany, Kane shared, "To be honest, I haven't heard anything specific about it yet. That's why I can't really comment on it until it's officially announced. We'll have to wait and see what happens. I obviously know Thomas very well from the last year."
He went on to say, "He's a fantastic coach and a fantastic person. I'm sure the FA will contact me when they know more about this issue." Tuchel has an impressive track record, having won league titles with Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain. He also led Chelsea to victory in the Champions League earlier this year.
Currently, Tuchel is not tied to any club after leaving Bayern at the end of last season, and he has also held talks with Manchester United about possibly replacing Erik ten Hag. On the other hand, the FA has also made an informal approach for Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola.
Guardiola's contract with City is set to expire at the end of the season, but he has not ruled out extending his stay with the Premier League champions. With all these developments, it will be interesting to see who will eventually take over as the manager for the England national team.
