Thomas Tuchel Appointed England National Team Coach

German coach Thomas Tuchel has been appointed as the head coach of the England national football team, becoming the third non-Englishman to hold this position. He will take over in January 2025, succeeding interim manager Lee Carsley who stepped in after Gareth Southgate resigned following the Euro 2024 final loss to Spain. Tuchel, who has previously managed Chelsea and Bayern Munich, will be assisted by English coach Anthony Barry, his former colleague at Chelsea and Bayern. The Football Association (FA) confirmed that Tuchel was their preferred choice after interviewing several candidates. Tuchel expressed his pride and excitement at the opportunity to lead England, citing a personal connection to football in the country. His contract is set for 18 months, during which he will aim to guide England through the 2026 World Cup qualification campaign.
