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 built his reputation as a forward-thinking tactician in the Bundesliga after taking over from Jurgen Klopp at Mainz 05 in 2009. Tuchel also took PSG to their first Champions League final in 2020, which they lost to Bayern, before leaving for Chelsea. Taking over the England national team represents a new challenge for the German, who will be tasked with delivering a first major trophy since England won the World Cup on home soil in 1966.
