Former Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel has reached an agreement to lead the England men's football team. The German coach will take over from Gareth Southgate, who left the role after the Euro 2024 campaign in the summer.
A "control freak" who has been "described as 'charming', an 'incredible coach', but also 'divisive'", Tuchel will become only the third foreign permanent manager of England's men's team, said the BBC's Constantin Eckner, after Sven-Goran Eriksson and Fabio Capello. His challenge is to become "just the second foreign coach to win a men's World Cup or European Championship".
