Reports emerging from England's football scene reveal that the FA is closing in on their top target to replace the outgoing Gareth Southgate as the manager of the national team, and none other than German tactician Thomas Tuchel seems poised to take the reins.
Tuchel, renowned for his tenures at the helm of Borussia Dortmund and Chelsea, respectively, has been one of the favourites for the England job since the moment Gareth Southgate announced that he would be standing down as manager at the culmination of Euro 2024. Southgate’s decision to vacate the position came after England’s impressive yet ultimately unfulfilling performances under his stewardship.
The outgoing manager, Gareth Southgate, took over the team following the dismal showing at Euro 2016, and subsequently guided the team to the semi-finals of the 2018 World Cup in Russia and the 2020 European Championship. In spite of Southgate’s most dedicated efforts, ultimately, the knock-out rounds have proved a bridge too far for the England team to cross during his tenure.
Thomas Tuchel’s negotiation with England appears to be moving in a positive direction and speculation is mounting that he may soon put pen to paper as the next manager of the Three Lions, following on from his short but storied spells in Premier League management with Chelsea.
As there is little information confirmed just yet, the prospect has left England supporters eager in anticipation. With a glittering managerial career marked with achievements in the world of European club football, Thomas Tuchel stands out as the most compelling pick to take England forward in the long-run.
