Thomas Tuchel, the former manager of Chelsea, has consented to take over as manager of England.
Sven-Goran Eriksson and Fabio Capello have already been permanent managers of the England men’s side; Tuchel will be the third non-British manager.
Since Gareth Southgate resigned following the Three Lions’ defeat by Spain in the Euro 2024 final, England has been without a permanent manager.
The Football Association appointed Lee Carsley as temporary manager, and he will continue in that role for England’s final two Nations League games in November against Greece and the Republic of Ireland.
After that, Tuchel will assume permanent managerial duties.
This week at Wembley is anticipated to see Tuchel’s official unveiling. In the summer, Pep Guardiola, the manager of Manchester City, was also contacted to enquire about his interest in the position.
Having led Chelsea from January 2021 to September 2022, Tuchel is well-versed in English football.
Before being fired, the 51-year-old won the Uefa Super Cup, the Fifa Club World Cup, and the Champions League with the Blues.
After meeting Red Devils co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe in France in June, the former manager of Bayern Munich, Paris St. Germain, and Borussia Dortmund declared himself out of the competition to take over at Manchester United.
He won two Ligue 1 championships at PSG, including a domestic treble in 2019–20, and the German Cup with Dortmund.
His last prominent position was manager of Bayern, however he departed the role with a year remaining on his contract after the team missed out on winning the Bundesliga title for the first time since 2011–12.
