The England Football Association (FA) announced on its official website on the 16th (Korea time) that `Tuchel has been appointed as the head coach of the England men's national team.'
The FA said that former Bayern Munich, Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain coach Tuchel will become the new head coach of the English national team. Tuchel is set to take up the role from January 2025, it said.
England will be able to bring in Tuchel to fill the position of the official coach of the national team, which was vacant after Gareth Southgate resigned after the last Euro 2024. Acting coach Lee Kasley will lead the national team until November, and Tuchel will join from January. Tuchel's annual salary is known to be around 5 million pounds (about 8.8 billion won).

Bild says 'It's going to be a real revolution. Tuchel is reportedly negotiating with the English FA. Negotiations are already progressing, and there is a possibility that an agreement will be reached quickly. If Tuchel takes over, he will become the third foreign coach in England's history.
Tuchel left Bayern at the end of last season and has been unemployed since this summer. However, his popularity toward him was still not small. When he left Bayern, European big clubs, including Manchester United, put his name on the list as the next manager. Recently, the possibility of joining Manchester United has been frequently discussed. England's Manchester Evening News is considering Tuchel as a leading replacement for Erik ten Hach. Tuchel also received United's attention last summer and is not in the squad since leaving Bayern. The fact that Tuchel can be appointed immediately is a great attraction for Manchester United. Manchester United's leadership will hold a meeting, and Ten Hach is expected to talk as well.

The BBC will also be the third foreign coach in history after Sven Yehran Eriksson and Fabio Capello. England had not appointed a full manager after saying goodbye to Gareth Southgate last summer. Coach Lee Kasley will play until the final Nations League match in November, and Tuchel will take over as manager after that. The official announcement is expected to take place at Wembley Stadium in London on the 16th, acknowledging Tuchel's appointment.

For England, the appointment of Tuchel can also relieve the desperation for the championship. The England national team has not won a major championship title since 1966. Considering that Tuchel has consistently given trophies to the team, there is certainly a lot to look forward to. All four teams that have recently experienced including DFB Pokal during his time at Dortmund, Ligue 1 and Coupe de France during his time at Paris Saint-Germain, the European Champions League during his time at Chelsea, and the Bundesliga during his time at Bayern Munich have lifted trophies.
In addition, Tuchel is a coach who has achieved tremendous performance in Dortmund, Paris Saint-Germain, Chelsea and Bayern Munich, with the exception of Mainz. In 2021, he was named FIFA Coach of the Year.
However, Tuchel's notoriety is a risk. Tuchel has been in conflict with the squad or Sudanese leadership since his time in Dortmund and has continued to travel around the team to Bayern just before. It is also a part that needs to be managed as an FA.
England have appointed Tuchel as manager to ease the frustration of major tournaments. Whether Tuchel can bring England's dream trophy is expected to receive great attention until the 2026 World Cup in North and Central America.
