Thomas Tuchel Set to Become the New England Manager, Sources Confirm
According to multiple sources, former Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel has reached an agreement to take over as the next head coach of the England men’s football team.
The German tactician will be the third non-British manager to lead the national side, following in the footsteps of Sven-Göran Eriksson and Fabio Capello.The England national team has been without a permanent manager since Gareth Southgate stepped down after their heart-wrenching loss to Spain in the final of Euro 2024.
In the meantime, Lee Carsley has been handling managerial duties on an interim basis. Carsley is expected to continue overseeing the squad for the final two Nations League fixtures in November against Greece and the Republic of Ireland.
Tuchel is set to officially assume the role afterward.Over the summer, the Football Association (FA) also approached Manchester City’s Pep Guardiola to gauge his interest in the position, but Tuchel has emerged as the favored candidate. His experience in English football, notably during his tenure at Chelsea from January 2021 to September 2022, has made him a suitable choice for the role.
Tuchel enjoyed considerable success during his time at Stamford Bridge, guiding Chelsea to victory in the UEFA Champions League, FIFA Club World Cup, and UEFA Super Cup. However, despite these achievements, he parted ways with the club in September 2022.Aside from his Chelsea stint, Tuchel boasts an impressive managerial resume. He has led top European clubs such as Bayern Munich, Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), and Borussia Dortmund.
While with PSG, he secured two Ligue 1 titles and a domestic treble in the 2019-2020 season. At Borussia Dortmund, he lifted the DFB-Pokal (German Cup), adding to his accolades.In June, Tuchel ruled himself out of contention for the Manchester United managerial job, even after holding discussions with club co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe. His most recent role was at Bayern Munich, but his tenure ended after the team failed to clinch the Bundesliga title for the first time in over a decade.
Despite the widespread reports, neither the Football Association nor Tuchel’s representatives have made any official comments regarding his appointment as England’s next manager.—This version retains the core details but rephrases the original text to avoid direct duplication.
