Thomas Tuchel has been named as England’s new manager on Wednesday, with the German set to start on January 1, 2025.
This was announced in a statement by the English Football Association on Wednesday.
“The FA has announced that UEFA Champions League winner Thomas Tuchel is the new England senior men’s head coach and will be assisted by internationally renowned English coach Anthony Barry,” the English Football Association said.
Chronicle NG reports that the German coach agreed a deal to become the next permanent England men’s senior team manager.
England have been without a permanent manager following Gareth Southgate’s exit after the Euro 2024 final defeat against Spain.
Under-21s coach Lee Carsley had been appointed as interim boss, with speculation intensifying this week regarding the FA speaking with numerous candidates, including Tuchel and Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola.
However, the former Chelsea, Dortmund, PSG, and Bayern Munich manager has won the race to be the next Three Lions boss and their third foreign hire.
Tuchel led Chelsea to Champions League glory in 2021 but was sacked the following year by the club’s new owners despite protests by fans.
The towering coach has been out of a job since leaving Bayern at the end of last season, following the club’s first season in over a decade without any silverware.
