Thomas Tuchel was named England’s new manager yesterday, with the Football Association turning to the German to try to land their first major trophy since 1966.

Former Chelsea manager Tuchel will start in the role from January 1, 2025 on an 18-month deal to the conclusion of the 2026 World Cup.

The 51-year-old, who has been out of work since leaving Bayern Munich at the end of last season, succeeds Englishman Gareth Southgate as permanent coach and becomes the third foreign manager of the Three Lions after SvenGoran Eriksson and Fabio Capello.

Tuchel, who has also coached Borussia Dortmund and Paris Saint-Germain, has the trophy-winning pedigree that the FA is seeking to help end a 58-year wait to win a major tournament since the 1966 World Cup on home soil.
