Thomas Tuchel, a former manager of Chelsea and Bayern Munich, has been named as the next manager of England on an 18-month contract. Since getting the job, Tuchel has expressed his thoughts on his transition into international management.
Wednesday morning brought the news that the German had been appointed as the new manager of the Three Lions. Tuchel has signed a contract with The FA that will last for 18 months, and he will begin his employment with the organization on January 1 of the following year.
“I am very proud to have been given the honor of leading the England team,” the former manager of Bayern Munich and Chelsea said after the appointment was made public. “I am grateful to have been given this opportunity.” Since I was a little child, I have had a strong personal connection to the game in this nation, and it has already provided me with some very unforgettable experiences. It is a tremendous honor to be given the opportunity to play for England, and it is incredibly thrilling to have the ability to collaborate with such a remarkable and talented group of players.
Together with Anthony, who serves as my assistant coach, we are going to do all in our power to ensure that England achieves success and that the fans are pleased with our efforts. I would want to express my gratitude to the FA, which includes Mark and John in particular, for their trust, and I am looking forward to beginning our adventure together.
Mark Bullingham, the CEO of the FA, has also provided an explanation as to why they decided to pick Tuchel. “We are thrilled to have hired Thomas Tuchel, one of the best coaches in the world, and Anthony Barry, one of the best of the English coaches, to support him,” he added. “We are thrilled to have hired both of them.” We have taken a very comprehensive approach to the recruitment procedure.
In preparation for the European Championships, we devised a backup plan and identified the specific characteristics that we would be seeking for in a coach. We have been working through the applicant pool ever since Gareth departed, holding meetings with a number of coaches, and evaluating them based on the criteria that we have established. In addition to his extensive skills and his ambition, Thomas was a highly outstanding individual who stood out. In addition to his experience with the Republic of Ireland, Belgium, and Portugal, Anthony is a highly talented English player who has also played internationally.
Our first objective was to recruit a coaching staff that would provide us with the most possible possibility of winning a big event, and we are certain that they will be able to accomplish this goal. At the moment, Thomas and the rest of the team are concentrating their efforts only on providing us with the best opportunity to win the World Cup in 2026.Because Lee is a highly brilliant coach and a significant component of our England pipeline, I would want to express my gratitude to him for exceeding our expectations and doing everything that we requested of him. In the summer, he will now concentrate on defending his title as the U21 European Champion. Fans of England at both the senior and MU21 levels are experiencing a period of great excitement, and we are looking forward to welcoming Thomas and Anthony to the team when they start working in January.
Lee Carsley will continue to serve as interim head coach for the time being, despite the fact that Tuchel has officially signed his own contract. It is scheduled that he will be in charge of the UEFA Nations League matches against Greece and the Republic of Ireland the following month, with Tuchel taking over as head coach for the international break that follows.
