Thomas Tuchel has been announced as the future manager of England, taking over on January 1, 2025. Tuchel, who has been unemployed since leaving Bayern Munich, is the Three Lions' third foreign manager. With a trophy-winning background, he has the potential to break a 58-year drought to win a major championship. However, the FA's reluctance to choose an Englishman for the top position has led to criticism of the plan.
English footballer Thomas Tuchel has been appointed as the new head coach of the England national team, alongside Anthony Barry, who previously worked with him at Bayern Munich. Tuchel expressed his pride in leading the team and the privilege of working with a talented group of players. He has won league titles at PSG, Bayern, and Dortmund, but his greatest success came at Chelsea, where he led the Blues to Champions League glory in 2021 and won the UEFA Super Cup and Club World Cup. However, he was sacked in September 2022 by Chelsea's new ownership group, which did not yield the desired results.
Thomas Tuchel has been appointed as the permanent successor to Gareth Southgate, who led England to back-to-back European Championship finals and a World Cup semi-final and quarter-final in his four major tournaments. However, England has yet to win a major men's tournament since the 1966 World Cup on home soil. The FA CEO, Mark Bullingham, expressed excitement about Tuchel's appointment and praised his vast expertise and drive. He will inherit a talented generation of players, including Harry Kane, Jude Bellingham, and Cole Palmer, who are among the favourites for the 2026 World Cup.
