Thomas Tuchel, who is now the manager of England, has been the subject of Jurgen Klopp’s attention in the past, and the manager has expressed his appreciation for Tuchel.
Klopp was considered a possible successor to Gareth Southgate, but he declined the opportunity to take on the post. Southgate had been the current manager of the team. The Football Association, on the other hand, has made a move to get Tuchel and has reached an agreement with the German player for a deal that will last for 18 months.
This will allow him to compete in the World Cup in 2026, where the Three Lions will be considered one of the favorites to win the event. In the past, Tuchel has had managerial positions at Mainz, Borussia Dortmund, Paris Saint-Germain, Chelsea, and Bayern Munich.
His tenure as manager of Mainz and Dortmund, during which he led Dortmund to victory in the DFB-Pokal, was really his successor to Klopp. In addition, the two players competed against one another during Tuchel’s tenure at Chelsea, when Klopp was the manager of Liverpool.
They competed against one another in a number of cup finals, and it was obvious that Klopp held his opponent in very high respect from the beginning. In 2022, the manager of Liverpool at the time praised Tuchel for the manner in which he handled the situation in which former Blues owner Roman Abramovich was sanctioned due to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine through sanctions.
The statement was sent by Klopp on the FA website. “It will be great to see Thomas Tuchel again, having met three times already during this campaign,” the statement said. “It is important to note that all of these matches ended in draws, which demonstrates how fiercely competitive our clubs are against one another.
There was no doubt in my mind that my regard for Thomas was already at an all-time high. When one considers the challenges that he has faced away from the field of play over the past several weeks and months, it becomes even more apparent that he deserves this regard.
When it comes to his club, he is an absolutely outstanding leader. Those of us who competed against him in Germany should not be surprised by my statement. Nevertheless, I believe that his position as one of the very finest coaches and managers in the world is appropriately acknowledged by everyone involved in the game.
On Wednesday, a press conference will take place in which Tuchel will be officially introduced as the next manager of England. In the aftermath of his dismissal from Bayern Munich at the conclusion of the previous season, he had been on gardening leave.
Harry Kane, the captain of the Three Lions, was one of his players while he was at Bayern. While Klopp has expressed his respect for Tuchel’s abilities as a manager, the striker has also spoken his opinion.
Since I am being really honest, I have not yet heard anything particular about it. “That is why I can’t really comment on it until it is officially announced,” Kane said in response to a question brought up by Sky Germany regarding Tuchel’s discussions with the FA.
We are going to have to hold out and see what transpires. With the passage of a year, it is clear that I am extremely familiar with Thomas. Both as a coach and as a person, he is an outstanding individual. The FA will definitely get in touch with me once they have more information on this matter.
