Thomas Tuchel's work-from-home scheme! FA tell new England boss he can spend extended time working remotely from Germany

UEFA Nations League B

England

<p>According to <a href="https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/31472087/thomas-tuchel-england-job-london-munich/" target="_blank"><em>The Sun</em></a><em>, </em>in a departure from tradition, incoming England manager Tuchel has received approval from the <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/thomas-tuchel-england-premier-league-massively-challenging/blte78d8d8da2c8ed04" target="_blank">Football Association (FA) to work remotely for part of each week</a>, allowing him to spend time at home in Munich. Although he has committed to residing in England for the majority of his tenure, the FA has given the <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/thomas-tuchel-chelsea-reunion-plan-england-job/blt4ce07c75f9478aed" target="_blank">51-year-old former Chelsea boss flexibility</a> in his work arrangements as he prepares to take on one of the most scrutinised roles in international football. Hence, he will not be required to attend daily meetings at the England training headquarters, St George’s Park in Burton upon Trent.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>The flexibility granted to Tuchel marks a shift from the working style of his predecessor, Gareth Southgate, who took a more hands-on approach during his eight-year tenure with the national team. The erstwhile manager spent at least three days a week at the football centre in Burton and urged similar attendance levels among his backroom staff, which included age-group coaches, analysts, and operations staff. Together, Southgate and his assistant, Steve Holland, attended an average of five Premier League matches each week, demonstrating their commitment to keeping a close watch on emerging English talent. While Tuchel will also hold meetings with junior coaches and other FA departments, he is expected to adopt a more flexible attendance routine than Southgate. </p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Tuchel, who spent 18 months living in London while managing Chelsea, will once again reside in England but plans to regularly visit his family in Munich, where his two daughters live. Drawing on the arrangements made for England Women’s team manager Sarina Wiegman, who splits her time between the UK and her native Netherlands, Tuchel has secured a similar agreement, allowing him to balance his personal and professional commitments.</p><p>"I love to live in England and I’m looking forward to living again in England," he told reporters after his appointment. "I want to be close to the Premier League, I want to be close to the majority of the players. But of course, the schedule will allow me to be close to my family and my children in Germany. I will be in England most of the time."</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>The report mentions that Tuchel will be absent from England’s upcoming Nations League matches against the Republic of Ireland and Greece this month as interim boss Lee Carsley will oversee the two fixtures. Furthermore, it remains uncertain if he will attend the 2026 World Cup qualifying draw in Switzerland scheduled for December. Nonetheless, Tuchel’s primary objective as England’s manager is clear: to lead the national team to victory in the 2026 World Cup. The FA has offered him an 18-month contract with a single goal - securing a World Cup title.</p>
