Thomas Tuchel left Bayern Munich in May after the German club failed to win the Bundesliga title.
The British media extensively reported that Thomas Tuchel, the former head coach of Chelsea, had signed a deal to take over as manager of England.
The 51-year-old German’s appointment is anticipated to be revealed during a news conference that the Football Association’s chief executive Mark Bullingham will host at Wembley on Wednesday (local time).

Though he is the first German manager to lead England, Tuchel will be the third foreign manager. Sven-Goran Eriksson of Sweden and Fabio Capello of Italy also occupied the position.
Recognised for his forward-thinking style of play, Tuchel took over for Frank Lampard at Chelsea in January 2021 and guided them to victory over Manchester City in the Champions League final.
In the summer, Pep Guardiola, the manager of Manchester City, was also contacted to enquire about his interest in the position. Having led Chelsea from January 2021 to September 2022, Tuchel is well-versed in English football.
Before being fired, the 51-year-old won the Uefa Super Cup, the Fifa Club World Cup, and the Champions League with the Blues. After meeting Red Devils co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe in France in June, the former manager of Bayern Munich, Paris St. Germain, and Borussia Dortmund declared himself out of the competition to take over at Manchester United.
