Former Chelsea and Dortmund manager, Thomas Tuchel has been appointed coach of the Three Lions of England.
The 51-year-old German, who has signed an 18-month contract, will begin his new role on 1 January, 2025.
Tuchel becomes only the third non-British permanent manager of the men’s team after Sven-Goran Eriksson and Fabio Capello.
Lee Carsley has been managing the England men’s team on an interim basis since Gareth Southgate resigned in July after England’s defeat by Spain in the Euro 2024 final.

“To have the chance to represent England is a huge privilege, and the opportunity to work with this special and talented group of players is very exciting.”
