German Tuchel will replace Gareth Southgate as the England men’s team’s permanent manager, following Sven-Goran Eriksson and Fabio Capello, according to two separate sources who spoke to the news.
Since Southgate quit after the Three Lions’ loss to Spain in the Euro 2024 final, England has been without a permanent manager.
For England’s final two Nations League games against Greece and the Republic of Ireland in November, Lee Carsley, who was appointed temporary manager by the Football Association, will continue in his role. Tuchel will then formally assume leadership.
Tuchel is anticipated to be formally unveiled at Wembley on Wednesday.
Leading England to qualification for the 2026 World Cup, which will be held in the United States, Canada, and Mexico, will be his primary goal.
In the summer, Pep Guardiola, the manager of Manchester City, was also approached to see if he was interested in the position.
Tuchel, who led Chelsea from January 2021 to September 2022, is accustomed to English football.
Before being fired, the 51-year-old won the Uefa Super Cup, the Fifa Club World Cup, and the Champions League with the Blues.
After meeting Red Devils co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe in France in June, the former manager of Bayern Munich, Paris St-Germain, and Borussia Dortmund ruled himself out of the running to take over at Manchester United.
