England reach agreement with Thomas Tuchel as FA prepare to unveil new Three Lions boss this week

<p>In a quick turn of events, the former Chelsea and Bayern Munich boss is<a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/thomas-tuchel-could-be-confirmed-quickly-england-permanent-manager-fa-negotiating-contract-terms/blt4dd77ba6449e538e" target="_blank"> set to pick up the mantle from Gareth Southgate</a> and lead England into the 2026 World Cup. Tuchel is widely reported to have finalised a deal with the Football Association, despite being a leading contender for the Manchester United job should Erik ten Hag be sacked in the coming weeks. Tuchel is a Champions League winner and specialised in tournaments and is favoured to finally get the Three Lions over the line in at a major competition.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Tuchel's appointment marks a shift away from the English-born candidates that the FA had previously favoured. Reports suggest the governing body also sounded out Pep Guardiola for the job, but could not guarantee he would take it, even if it was at the end of the 2024-25 campaign and his current contract with Manchester City. Tuchel has plenty of experience working with Premier League players,<a href="https://www.goal.com/en-za/lists/harry-kane-breaks-silence-england-bayern-thomas-tuchel-new-manager/blt02bb315a9a4b67d2" target="_blank"> including ex-Tottenham striker Harry Kane</a>, who he brought to Munich just over a year ago.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>The 51-year-old will become the first German-born manager to take charge of England. As well as this, Tuchel will be only the third foreign coach to lead the Three Lions after Sven-Goran Eriksson and Fabio Capello.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>Interim boss Lee Carsley is due to take charge of two more matches in November before stepping aside, but his recent comments outlining England's<a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/lee-carsley-urges-fa-hire-world-class-coach-major-hint-england-future/blt5960eb32c115bc2b" target="_blank"> need for a world-class coach</a> may have ended his time in the dugout after just four matches. The Three Lions take on Greece and the Republic of Ireland next month and could see Tuchel step in immediately, though some reports suggest he won't start work until January 1, 2025.</p>
