Is Thomas Tuchel the man to lead England to World Cup glory?
German journalist Constantin Eckner says the appointment of Thomas Tuchel as the new England menβs manager is a βsurpriseβ but he brings βa lot of positiveβ attributes to the role including being a βgreat tacticianβ.
The German will begin an 18-month contract on 1 January 2025 and becomes the third non-British permanent manager of the men's team after Sven-Goran Eriksson and Fabio Capello.
Tuchel, who won the Champions League with Chelsea, and has also won trophies at Paris Saint-Germain, Borussia Dortmund and most recently Bayern Munich, replaces Gareth Southgate who resigned in July after England lost to Spain in the final of Euro 2024.
Eckner spoke to Sport Todayβs Ed Harry after Tuchel was unveiled as the new England boss.
