Sources: Tuchel set to be named England boss

Thomas Tuchel is set to become England’s new men’s head coach, succeeding Gareth Southgate. The Football Association accelerated talks with Tuchel in the past 48 hours, and a news conference is expected to confirm his appointment. Tuchel, who won the Champions League with Chelsea in 2021, will be the first German and third foreign-born manager to lead England. While other candidates were considered, including Pep Guardiola and English managers, Tuchel’s experience in winning major trophies in various leagues made him the top choice. The FA is hopeful that Tuchel can lead England to success in the upcoming 2026 World Cup.
