Thomas Tuchel, the highly-regarded German coach, has officially signed an agreement to become the new manager of the England national football team. Tuchel, widely tipped as one of the top contenders to replace Gareth Southgate, brings a wealth of top flight experience and a winning track record. His previous stint at Chelsea also provides him with valuable Premier League knowledge, making him an ideal fit for the Football Association’s vision of a seasoned manager.
The former Chelsea and Bayern Munich boss, who has been without a team since departing Bayern in the summer, will now take over as England’s full-time manager. He steps into the role following the resignation of Gareth Southgate, who stepped down after England’s defeat to Spain in the Euro 2024 final this past July.
Tuchel, 51, led Chelsea to a Champions League victory in 2021, cementing his reputation as one of Europe’s top managers. However, he parted ways with the London club the following year, despite his success. Now, Tuchel looks set to bring his expertise and winning mentality to the England national side as they aim for future international success.
