Thomas Tuchel’s reported start date as England manager revealed ahead of official unveiling

Thomas Tuchel has agreed to become the new England manager, with details of his contract emerging.

The 51-year-old ends the wait for a permanent successor to Gareth Southgate following his exit over the summer.

Tuchel has been out of work since leaving Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich at the end of last season.

He'll be the Three Lions' first German-born coach and first from overseas since Italian icon Fabio Cappello in 2012.

Viewed as the perfect man to take England forward, Tuchel's pedigree in knockout competitions is among the best in Europe.

He reached the Champions League final with Paris Saint-Germain in 2020 and won the competition with Chelsea one year later.

England haven't won a major competition since the World Cup in 1966 and suffered back-to-back European Championship final defeats under Southgate.

Per Florian Plettenberg, Tuchel will earn between £4.5 million and £5 million during his time as England boss.

A further report from Di Marzio claims Tuchel will sign an 18-month deal with England and take charge on January 1st, 2025.

He'll be reuniting with Harry Kane, who he signed for Bayern from Tottenham Hotspur in 2023.

Lee Carsley is in interim charge until the end of November's international break.

The England U-21s boss admitted he was keen to return to his previous role last week.

He said: “I was quite surprised after the last camp in terms of the job’s mine and it’s mine to lose and all the rest of it.

"My remit has been clear. I’m doing three camps, there’s three games left, and then hopefully I’ll be going back to the 21s. It’s had almost no impact.

"Nothing’s changed. My remit was to do the three camps and then to hand over. Nothing’s changed in what I said in the first press conference. It’s a fantastic job.

I’m lucky I’ve got a good job as it is in the 21s. But after the first camp when we won two games and had two good performances nothing changed.

"It’s important that I give it everything I’ve got for the next three games. I’m really happy and comfortable with the communication I have with my bosses. Nothing’s changed in that respect."
