In a surprising turn of events, former Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel is set to become the new England manager, according to The Times. The deal has been finalized with the Football Association and an official announcement is expected this week.
This appointment would mean two former Chelsea managers will be leading teams at the next World Cup: Mauricio Pochettino for the USMNT and now Tuchel for England. It almost could have been a trio of Chelsea managers, if Carlo Ancelotti had not opted to stay with Real Madrid instead of taking the Brazilian national team job.
Tuchel’s appointment comes at a pivotal moment for England, who have reached back-to-back finals at the Euros and the semi-finals of the World Cup in 2018. His trophy-laden record, coupled with his tactical prowess, might be the key ingredient to finally bring the coveted trophy “home” for England.
