England are actively looking for their next manager. Lee Carsley, interim since the departure of Gareth Southgate at the end of the Euro and who experienced his first defeat against Greece on Thursday evening, knew his time on the ephemeral bench. According to Bildit is Thomas Tuchel who is currently in negotiations to take the head of the English selection.
The German coach has been without a job since leaving Bayern Munich last June. At 51, he could therefore lead a selection for the first time in his career after having spent time with Augsburg, Mainz, Dortmund, Paris Saint-Germain, Chelsea and therefore Bayern.
England have had foreign coaches before
For the Three Lions, this choice could be crucial. With a golden generation led by Jude Bellingham, Bukayo Saka, Phil Foden and Cole Palmer, in addition to captain Harry Kane, the next coach will have the mission of bringing back a title awaited since 1966, while Southgate failed twice in Euro final in 2021 and 2024.
The fact that Thomas Tuchel is not British should not be a problem. England are one of the few major European teams to have used foreign coaches in the past, with Sven-Göran Eriksson and Fabio Capello. Still, the Three Lions could have competition: Manchester United would also be interested in Tuchel’s profile if Erik ten Hag’s adventure came to an end.
