Will Thomas Tuchel become coach of the national team? According to a media report, the former Bayern coach is negotiating with the English Football Association. His chances may increase now that the presumptive top candidate has likely canceled the election.
Thomas Tuchel has a good reputation in England.
The 51-year-old won the Champions League with Chelsea in 2021, among other things. Recent rumors confirm the fact that the former Bayern coach has an excellent reputation on the island.
According to Welt TV, Tuchel is said to be negotiating with the English Football Association over the job of national coach.
Accordingly, the talks are said to have already progressed and it is possible to “reach an agreement quickly”, it is said.
The rumors could now gain momentum because, according to the Telegraph, Eddie Howe, the coach who was previously considered the leading candidate, has been rejected by the FA.
The 46-year-old therefore has no intention of leaving his club Newcastle United to become the new England coach.
This will likely pave the way for Tuchel as the new coach of the Three Lions.
England did not succeed under Carsley
England reached the final of the European Championship in Germany, but lost to Spain. Longtime and often criticized coach Gareth Southgate has resigned from his position just months before the end of his contract.
Under interim coach Lee Carsley, the Three Lions lost surprisingly 2-1 to Greece in the UEFA Nations League on Thursday.
If appointed, Tuchel will be England's third foreign coach after the recently deceased Sven-Goran Eriksson (2000-2006) and Fabio Capello (2007-2012).
Tuchel is also a candidate in Manchester
However, Tuchel, who, in addition to Bayern Munich and Chelsea, has also coached Paris Saint-Germain, Borussia Dortmund and 1.FSV Mainz 05, is also under discussion at Manchester United.
If the Red Devils part ways with Erik ten Hag due to his continuing sporting decline, Crombach's compatriot should be the most likely candidate to succeed the Dutchman.
