German coach Thomas Tuchel has agreed a deal to become the next permanent England men’s senior team manager, according to reports.
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, it appears 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.
He was also the manager of the Bavarian club when they opted to sign England captain Harry Kane from Tottenham Hotspur.
