New England coach Thomas Tuchel promised to win the World Cup.
The England Football Association officially announced the appointment of Tuchel on its official website on the 16th (Korea time). The English Football Association says "Tuchel, who was the manager of Bayern Munich, Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), is our new manager. Tuchel has been named the new head coach and will be helped by internationally renowned head coach Anthony Barry", he explained.
The English Football Association said it had been secretly negotiating Tuchel under the leadership of CEO Mark Burlingham and technical director John McDermott, and that the two sides had agreed to an 18-month contract. Tuchel will serve as England's head coach from 1 January 2025. Until then, it will remain as interim coach Lee Kasley as it is now.

CEO Burlingham, who brought in Tuchel, said "We are delighted to have signed one of the best coaches in the world, Tuchel, and Barry, one of the best British coaches to support him. Our recruitment process was very thorough. Prior to Euro 2024, the contingency plan clearly defined the qualities needed for the coach."
Then "Basically we hired Tuchel and head coach Barry to give us the best chance to win a major tournament. I believe they will do so. At the 2026 World Cup, Tuchel and England will focus in unison to create the best chance of winning," he added.

Tuchel is proud to be honored to lead England. I have a personal connection to English football. I've already experienced a lot of amazing moments. It is a huge privilege to have the opportunity to represent England, and the opportunity to work with these special and talented players is very exciting. I'm looking forward to starting our journey", he expressed his feelings about the appointment.
Tuchel also delivered a video letter to his fans through the official English national team channel. "It's quite nerve-wracking. It is his first greeting as an England manager. I'm at Wembley Stadium. It's really exciting, it's an honor. I will do everything to make it to the World Cup. After that, I will try for a successful World Cup. I'll put a second star on our uniform"I promised my fans to win the World Cup.

Tuchel has always had a big trophy for any team since Borussia Dortmund's days. Dortmund won the German Football Association Pokal Cup. At Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), he was responsible for winning the French Ligue 1. At Chelsea, he reached the top of Europe. He failed at Bayern Munich but won the German Bundesliga in his first season.
However, the management of the club coach and the national team coach is very different. With only 18 months left, it has become important how much Tuchel will be able to adapt to the changed environment. If he fails to adapt to the national team system until the North Korea-China World Cup approaches, Tuchel will never keep his promise to his fans.

First of all, all the materials in front of Tuchel are of the best quality. Starting with Harry Kane, who he himself recruited, Jude Bellingham, Phil Foden, Bukayo Saka, Declan Rice, and Cole Palmer can now choose and bring in the world's best materials. As he is highly regarded in terms of the combination of players' abilities, he is expected to show better capabilities than manager Gareth Southgate.
However, Tuchel's ability to control the team is worrisome. He was unsuccessful in taking control of the squad at Dortmund, PSG and Bayern. It was also the reason why Tuchel was replaced. The best players in the world will have to unite around Tuchel.

Tuchel told a press conference on England's appointment that `the players have already proved it. The consistency of reaching the quarterfinals, semifinals and finals was impressive. We have players who compete in the most powerful leagues in the world every day. We have the materials in place and fully believe this is the moment to establish patterns and principles that can help push the team above the threshold. I have the confidence to add something that can help me with my experience in club football. We must live up to these standards. We have to show this in the preliminary round and build the atmosphere. Then something special can happen"I was confident that I could successfully lead the England players.
