has officially been appointed as the head coach of the England national football team following his departure from Bayern Munich. He has signed an 18-month contract, leading up to the 2026 World Cup. Despite some debate in England over hiring a foreign manager, the FA chose the German coach, renowned for winning the Champions League with Chelsea in 2021.
Although Tuchel has never managed a national team, his managerial skills are widely respected, generating optimism about England’s chances in 2026. However, critics have compared this decision to countries like Spain and Argentina, which achieved success with local, less high-profile coaches.
Tuchel expressed his pride in taking the role: « It’s an immense privilege to represent England, and I’m excited to work with this special group of talented players. Alongside Anthony Barry as assistant coach, we’ll do everything we can to make England successful and make the fans proud. »
