Former Chelsea coach, THOMAS TUCHEL, in advanced talks to become next England manager

Tuesday, October 15, 2024 - The Football Association is edging closer to appointing Thomas Tuchel as the new coach of England.

The former Chelsea manager is now in advanced talks with the FA over becoming the long-term successor to Gareth Southgate, who quit after Euro 2024.

Although a deal has yet to be officially agreed upon, but discussions will continue over the next 24 hours with the FA hopeful of getting their man.

Tuchel, 51, would become the Three Lions’ third overseas boss behind Sven-Goran Eriksson and Fabio Capello.

Tuchel, who previously managed Borussia Dortmund, has been jobless since leaving Bayern Munich last summer but is highly regarded for working with top players.

Interim boss Carsley has been expected to stay in charge for the remaining Nations League games next month. But the World Cup draw is on December 13 and the new boss will be expected to take over for qualifying fixtures.
