The former Chelsea and Bayern Munich manager, who led Chelsea to Champions League glory in 2021, is expected to be unveiled later this week<\/p>\r\n\r\n
This appointment will mark a historic moment as Tuchel, 51, becomes England's first German-born manager. His arrival will end the uncertainty surrounding the position after Gareth Southgate's resignation earlier in the summer.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Despite interest from high-profile European clubs, including Manchester United and AC Milan, the FA secured Tuchel, who has been without a club since his departure from Bayern Munich at the end of last season, according to The Times.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Negotiations between Tuchel and the FA were initiated last month by FA chief executive Mark Bullingham and technical director John McDermott. For the FA, Tuchel's capture represents a significant achievement, considering he was in demand across Europe.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Manchester United had held talks with Tuchel during the summer, viewing him as a potential replacement for Erik ten Hag, but ultimately extended Ten Hag\u2019s contract.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Tuchel\u2019s appointment comes after Lee Carsley, the England Under-21 head coach, was placed in interim charge for six Nations League matches. Speaking after England\u2019s 3-1 victory over Finland in Helsinki, Carsley emphasised the FA\u2019s need for a \u201cworld-class coach who has won trophies.\u201d Tuchel, with his impressive track record, fits the bill perfectly.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
In addition to his Champions League success with Chelsea, he reached the Champions League final with Paris Saint-Germain and also won the Club World Cup and Super Cup during his time at Stamford Bridge.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Other candidates considered for the role included Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola, whose contract expires at the end of the season.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
However, with Guardiola hesitant to commit, Tuchel emerged as the top choice. He becomes the third foreign manager to take charge of England, following Sven-Goran Eriksson and Fabio Capello. Tuchel is believed to be excited by the opportunity, with England boasting a wealth of talent that he believes could make them strong contenders at the 2026 World Cup.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
