Thomas Tuchel Appointed England National Team Manager

Thomas Tuchel has been appointed as the new head coach of the England national football team, succeeding Gareth Southgate following the team's disappointing Euro 2024 final loss. Tuchel, 51, has a complicated personal life, having divorced his wife Sissi after 13 years of marriage in April 2022 and quickly entering into a relationship with 37-year-old Natalie Max. His transition to coaching England has raised concerns among the Football Association regarding potential distractions from his personal affairs, particularly given the scrutiny he faced during his time at Chelsea. Despite previous controversies, Tuchel is recognized for his tactical prowess, having led Chelsea to a Champions League victory in 2021. He is set to begin his tenure with the team in early 2024, focusing on upcoming international competitions. Tuchel's contract is expected to run through the 2026 World Cup, with hopes for a successful campaign in the 2028 European Championships also in sight.
