It seems that Thomas Tuchel is set to become England's new manager, with reports stating that an agreement has been reached between him and the Football Association. This comes after Gareth Southgate's departure following England's Euro 2024 campaign in the summer. According to The Times, Tuchel has agreed to the deal and an official announcement is expected this week.
Tuchel had also been in talks with Manchester United earlier this year, as they were considering him as a potential replacement for Erik ten Hag. However, United ultimately decided to keep ten Hag as their manager. Since then, the FA has been in extensive negotiations with Tuchel, appointing Lee Carsley as the interim manager for England's upcoming six Nations League matches.
With league titles under his belt from his time at Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain, as well as a recent Champions League win with Chelsea, Tuchel is a highly experienced and accomplished coach. He has been without a team since leaving Bayern at the end of last season.
In light of these developments, Sky Germany asked England captain Harry Kane for his thoughts on Tuchel's potential appointment. Kane, who played under Tuchel at Bayern last season, stated that he hasn't heard anything specific yet and would wait for an official announcement. He did, however, praise Tuchel as a fantastic coach and person.
If Tuchel does become England's new manager, he will be only the third overseas coach to take on the role, following in the footsteps of Sven-Goran Eriksson and Fabio Capello. In a recent interview, interim manager Lee Carsley emphasized the need for a "world-class coach" to succeed Southgate permanently. He also mentioned that the FA has made it clear to him that this job requires someone with a winning track record and experience at the highest level.
Interestingly, it has been reported that the FA had also made an informal approach for Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola before their agreement with Tuchel. However, Guardiola's contract with City is set to expire at the end of the season, and he has yet to make a decision about his future.
It's an exciting time for English football as the nation eagerly awaits the official announcement of Tuchel as their new manager. With his impressive resume and experience, he is certainly a strong candidate for the job. Stay tuned for updates and analysis on this developing story.
