Thomas Tuchel he is the new England manager and on the microphones of BBC Also Kyle Walker expressed his opinion: “I understand that the English public thinks that there should be an English manager on the bench, but for me it is important to get results. He has shown that he can manage great players with great personalities at great clubs like PSG, Chelsea , with whom he won the Champions League against City. This is something that has stuck with me. It’s a great appointment, even better if he puts me in the team again (laughs, ed.).”
The statement
“The FA has announced that Champions League winner Thomas Tuchel is the new manager of the England senior team and will be assisted by internationally renowned English manager Anthony Barry. Tuchel returns to English football after a trophy-rich spell with Chelsea, who led him to become European and world champion, having also achieved success at elite level in Germany and France. Furthermore, he was voted UEFA and FIFA Coach of the Year in 2021 in recognition of his work in England
His arrival at the FA concludes an extensive recruitment drive that began in July, soon after the defeat of the Three Lions to the Euro 2024 final. The decision to recruit Tuchel and Barry was approved by the FA Council early last week, with Tuchel signing his contract on Tuesday 8 October. The announcement was delayed to minimize distractions during the just concluded international retreat. The pair will begin work on January 1, 2025 ahead of the qualification process for the following year’s FIFA World Cup finals, which will be held in Canada, Mexico and the United States.
Tuchel will be reunited with Barry, having worked closely with the Englishman at Chelsea and Bayern and where together they won four trophies between both clubs. Liverpool-born Barry, who holds a UEFA Pro Licence, has considerable international pedigree, most notably working with Belgium and Portugal for the 2022 World Cup and Euro 2024 respectively.”
