The English Football Association (FA) has appointed former Chelsea and Bayern Munich manager Thomas Tuchel as the new manager of the men's national team. This follows an extensive search process that saw several candidates considered, including Manchester City's Pep Guardiola and interim manager Lee Carsley.
’s manager after talks with the English Football Association accelerated on Tuesday. The 51-year-old will be the third foreign manager of the men’s team and the first from Germany.’s permanent successor since the beginning of the process, a list that also included Manchester City’s Pep Guardiola and the interim manager Lee Carsley among others.
Bullingham made the point during the European Championship in June that the England women head coach, Sarina Wiegman, is Dutch. In others words, the FA was and is perfectly happy to put its trust in someone from outside England. Tuchel is uncompromising and left his previous four jobs under something of a cloud, reports of fallings-out with players and directors following his exits from – in chronological order – Borussia Dortmund, Paris Saint-Germain, Chelsea and Bayern.
The FA had given serious consideration to promoting former Ireland international midfielder Carsley on a permanent basis from his role as the England Under-21s coach only for doubts to emerge about his suitability, not to mention whether he actually wanted the job. Carsley was heavily criticised for the performance of his team in last Thursday’s 2-1 Wembley loss to Greece and has struggled at times to communicate effectively in media conferences.
