Former Chelsea head coach Thomas Tuchel has signed a contract to become the new England manager, Sky Sports News reported on Tuesday.
The German is set to become the third foreign manager to take charge of the England men’s team, after Sweden’s Sven-Goran Eriksson and Italian Fabio Capello.
Tuchel, who led Chelsea to the Champions League title in 2021, will replace interim boss Lee Carsley three months after Gareth Southgate resigned following England’s defeat by Spain in the European Championship final in July.
