Thomas Tuchel has officially been appointed as the new manager for the England national football team. The 51-year-old has signed an 18-month deal with the Football Association, which will see him leading the team until after the 2026 World Cup. His annual salary is reportedly worth around £5 million, which is similar to what previous manager Gareth Southgate earned in his final contract with the FA.
Tuchel will officially take up his position in January 2025, after Lee Carsley completes his interim role as manager for England's two Nations League games in November. Carsley will then return to his position as head coach for the Under-21 team. Tuchel's contract also includes a bonus from the FA if he leads England to victory in the World Cup.
The German manager has chosen to take a significant pay cut from what he could have earned at club level, as he was previously earning €9 million per season with Bayern Munich and his contract with Chelsea was rumored to be worth over £10 million per year. Tuchel has been out of work since leaving Bayern Munich at the end of last season and was even in talks with Manchester United to potentially replace Erik ten Hag in the summer.
It's clear that the FA has high hopes for Tuchel and his abilities as a manager, as they have offered him a long-term contract that will lead up to the 2026 World Cup. Tuchel's track record and experience in top clubs like Bayern Munich and Chelsea make him a valuable asset to the England team. It will be exciting to see how he leads the team to success in the upcoming years.
