Tuchel signs contract to become new England Manager

0:00

Former Chelsea head coach Thomas Tuchel has signed a contract to become the new England manager, it was widely reported by British media on Tuesday.

The Football Association’s chief executive Mark Bullingham will host a news conference at Wembley on Wednesday when the 51-year-old German’s appointment is expected to be confirmed.

Tuchel will become the third foreign manager to take charge of England but the first from Germany. Sweden’s Sven-Goran Eriksson and Italian Fabio Capello also held the post.

Known for his progressive football, Tuchel replaced Frank Lampard at Chelsea in January 2021 and led them to the Champions League title that season, beating Manchester City in the final.

Lee Carsley, England’s under-21 manager, has been in temporary charge since the resignation of Gareth Southgate after England’s defeat by Spain in the Euro 2024 final in July.

Carsley had looked the favourite to land the role on a full-time basis but a shambolic home defeat by Greece in the Nations League on Thursday appears to have undermined his chances.

Manchester City’s serial title-winner Pep Guardiola was also reported to be in the mix but the Football Association has opted for Tuchel, who has been out of work since leaving Bayern Munich at the end of last season.
