The Football Association is in advanced discussions with Thomas Tuchel regarding his potential appointment as the next England manager, and it is believed that an agreement could be reached swiftly.
The FA has had Tuchel on their shortlist to succeed Gareth Southgate since the start of the selection process, which also included Manchester City's Pep Guardiola and interim manager Lee Carsley, among others. They have now focused on Tuchel, who guided Chelsea to Champions League victory in 2021—a significant achievement in his illustrious career—and there is a sense that he could be convinced to accept the role. Tuchel has been without a job since his departure from Bayern Munich in May. The FA has consistently declined to comment on the ongoing, confidential process.
