Thomas Tuchel will take the helm of England. An official announcement is expected soon.
Multiple media outlets, including the BBC, said on the 15th (Korea time) that the English Football Association is negotiating with Tuchel at the same time. "Tuchel held discussions with the English Football Association for the next England manager to take over. The discussions between the two sides are at an advanced stage, but no announcement is expected today. Still, things can move quickly and Tuchel is most likely to be the next England manager."," he reported.
The negotiations between Tuchel and the English Football Association took place quickly. In an exclusive report on the evening of the 15th, the British Times reported that "Tuchel agreed to become the head coach of England." He will be the first German head coach to become England head coach. There will be an announcement this week. Tuchel plans to start working in January 2025. He signed an 18-month contract," he said.

Afterwards, European transfer market expert Fabrizio Romano also shouted 'HERE WE GO' on his personal SNS, saying "Tuchel completed the contract to become England's head coach." We agreed on terms and conditions, and a contract was signed. The English Football Association proposed to Tuchel in July", he explained.
Tuchel is a recognized master in Europe. Tuchel, who started his career as Mainz manager in the 2009-2010 season, immediately ran for success. He was recognized for his leadership by raising Mainz, a mid-range power in the German Bundesliga, to the top of the league. He also showed his preference for Korean players by recruiting Park Joo-ho and Koo Ja-cheol from Mainz.

After leaving Mainz, Tuchel's tactical capabilities were outstanding even after taking a break at Borussia Dortmund. Although he did not exceed Bayern Munich's wildness, he showed attractive soccer for Dortmund and won the German Football Association Pokal Cup in the 2016-2017 season, winning his first title as a coach.
However, they parted ways with the leaders of the team and club in Dortmund after two years. Tuchel, who showed good attacking football at a big club called Dortmund, held the hand of Paris Saint-Germain (PSG).
Despite early trials and errors at PSG, Tuchel left PSG with the achievement of advancing to the UEFA Champions League (UCL) finals for the first time in the club's history. In the league, he won the title for the second year in a row with an overwhelming performance. The reason for leaving PSG in 2020 was also friction with the leaders of the squad and club.

As soon as Tuchel broke up with PSG, he moved to Chelsea and made history. He quickly normalized Chelsea, which had been struggling with a slump, to beat Pep Guardiola's Manchester City and win the UCL. In the 2021-2022 season, Chelsea ranked third in the league.
However, Tuchel was suddenly replaced in the 2022-2023 season, causing friction with the newly changed Chelsea leadership.
Coach Tuchel, who took a break for a while, was appointed to Bayern. He won the league dramatically, but his second year was disastrous. Many reinforcements have been made, including Harry Kane and Kim Min-jae, but Bayern finished the season without spectators in 12 years. In the end, Bayern informed Tuchel of the breakup.

Tuchel immediately received Manchester United's attention but failed to reach an agreement. Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag was once again connected to Manchester United as he faced a crisis of replacement, but Tuchel's final destination was the England head coach.
The English Football Association seems to have appreciated Tuchel's great failure in Bayern, but he knows the English Premier League (EPL) well and has been successful at Chelsea. He also made very good use of Harry Kane at Bayern.

Tuchel also took a huge salary cut. At Bayern, Tuchel's annual salary estimate was at least 10 million euros (about 14.8 billion won). The financial differences between the club and the national team should be considered, but they have decided to receive only about half of Tuchel's existing salary.
According to reporter Florian Flettenberg, who plays for Sky Sports in Germany, Tuchel agreed to receive about 5 million euros (about 7.4 billion won) to lead England. Coach Tuchel decided to make a big concession.
The contract period is also short at 18 months. First of all, Tuchel is expected to consider extending his contract after leading England and deciding what performance he will make at the upcoming 2026 World Cup in North and Central America.
