According to reports, it seems that Thomas Tuchel will be taking over as the new manager for the England football team. The 51-year-old has reached an agreement with the Football Association (FA) to permanently succeed Gareth Southgate, who stepped down from the role after England's Euro 2024 campaign.
As reported by The Times, Tuchel has finalized a deal with the FA and an official announcement is expected this week. It was also revealed that Tuchel had previously held talks with Manchester United in the summer, as they were considering him as a potential replacement for Erik ten Hag. However, United ultimately decided to keep ten Hag on board.
During this time, the FA had been actively negotiating with Tuchel, even appointing Lee Carsley as interim manager for England's six Nations League matches in September, October, and November. Tuchel brings an impressive resume, having won league titles with Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain, as well as the Champions League during his tenure at Chelsea.
Since leaving Bayern at the end of last season, Tuchel has been without a job. When asked about the potential appointment of his former manager, England captain Harry Kane, who played under Tuchel at Bayern, stated that he hasn't heard any specific details yet and will have to wait for an official announcement before commenting. He did, however, praise Tuchel as a fantastic coach and person.
Tuchel will become the third overseas coach to manage England, following in the footsteps of Sven-Goran Eriksson and Fabio Capello. The FA had also made an informal approach for Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola before reaching an agreement with Tuchel. However, Guardiola's future with City is still uncertain as his contract is set to expire at the end of the season.
In a recent match against Finland, interim manager Lee Carsley stressed the importance of appointing a world-class coach as Southgate's successor. He stated that the job requires someone with a proven track record of winning trophies and being at the top level of the game, something that he is still working towards.
It will certainly be an exciting time for English football as they welcome Tuchel as their new manager. The FA has been actively seeking a top-class coach to lead the team, and it seems like they have found their man in Tuchel. With his impressive credentials and experience, Tuchel is sure to bring a new level of success to the England team. Stay tuned for the official announcement and future updates on Tuchel's reign as England's new manager.
