However, Tuchel has now been announced as England's new manager, becoming just the third non-Englishman to take charge of the Three Lions. And when asked why he took the role instead of holding out for the United job, Tuchel explained: "The idea and the way John [McDermott] and Mark [Bullingham] presented it was very fast and confidential. "It was very straightforward, it was a decision for this job and not against anything else." Tuchel will officially start work next year and has signed a deal that runs until the 2026 World Cup.
