Thomas Tuchel has finally broken his silence following his appointment as England manager.
Let us remember that on Wednesday he was named England coach by the Football Association (FA).
The former Chelsea and PSG manager has said he is proud to accept the role and have the opportunity to lead the Three Lions’ bid for glory at the 2026 World Cup.
Tuchel has signed an 18-month contract until the end of the 2026 World Cup to be held in the United States, Canada and Mexico.
Tuchel succeeds Gareth Southgate and will begin working with the Three Lions on January 1, 2025 alongside assistant Anthony Barry.
He told the FA: “I am very proud to have had the honor of managing the England team. I have long felt a personal connection to the game in this country and it has already given me some incredible moments.
“Having the opportunity to represent England is a great privilege and the opportunity to work with this special and talented group of players is very exciting.
“Working closely with Anthony as my assistant coach, we will do everything we can to make England successful and their fans proud. “I want to thank the FA, particularly Mark and John, for their trust and I look forward to starting our journey together.”
