According to consistent media reports, German football coach Thomas Tuchel will be the new coach of the English national team. Like the British newspapers The Times and Mirror as well as the Bild According to consistent reports, he has agreed on a contract with the English Football Association (FA). There is no official confirmation from the FA yet, and Tuchel has not yet personally commented on the reports.
Accordingly, Tuchel should England lead to the 2026 World Cup in the USA, Mexico and Canada. It was initially unclear whether his contract would also run until the 2028 European Championship, which will take place in Ireland and the United Kingdom – and therefore also in England. Tuchel’s most difficult mission may be to win the Three Lions’ first international title since winning the 1966 World Cup.
This would make Tuchel the first German to become national coach in England and the third foreigner after the Swede Sven-Göran Eriksson and the Italian Fabio Capello. Tuchel already has experience in England: in the 2021/22 season he coached the London club Chelsea, with whom he won the Champions League. Tuchel was then head coach of FC Bayern Munich last season. Before his engagement in London, he coached the French capital club Paris Saint-Germain and Borussia Dortmund for two seasons each, and before that he coached FSV Mainz for five years.

Multiple championship titles and FIFA World Coach 2021
In addition to the European title with Chelsea, Tuchel’s greatest successes include the championship title with the FC Bayernwhich he had already taken over at the end of the 2022/23 season, as well as two consecutive French championship titles with Paris Saint-Germain. In 2021 he was also voted both football coach of the year in Germany and FIFA world coach of the year.
The position at the head of the English national team became vacant after the European Championships in Germany this summer. Gareth Southgate, who coached England for eight years, left the post after the final in Berlin, which England lost 2-1 to Spain. The then coach of the England U-21 team, Lee Carsley, took over the post on an interim basis. However, he lost support after a 2-1 defeat against Greece in the Nations League.
