Tuchel In Talks For England Job Permanently
Thomas Tuchel has openly expressed his views about taking on the role of the new England manager, especially since there are rumors suggesting he is in 'advanced discussions' with the Football Association.
The FA is in search of a permanent replacement for Gareth Southgate, who stepped down from his position in July following a defeat to Spain in the Euro 2024 final.
Lee Carsley has served as the temporary manager for England during their last two international gatherings, and he will continue in this role during the upcoming international break in November.
Before Thursday's 2-1 loss to Greece at Wembley, it seemed that Carsley was the front-runner to take over from Southgate permanently.
However, he faced significant backlash following the loss to Greece, receiving criticism for his choice of players and the statements he made during his post-game interviews.
On Friday, Christian Falk from BILD revealed that the Football Association is in "advanced discussions" with Tuchel, who is currently unemployed after parting ways with Bayern Munich in the summer. He has also been mentioned as a potential candidate for the Manchester United job, as they consider him for the role of the new England manager.
That report hasn't been verified by UK sources yet, but this isn't the first occasion that Tuchel has been strongly associated with leading the England national team.
In 2022, he was considered a top candidate to succeed Southgate if he stepped down from his position after the World Cup in Qatar.

After his recent dismissal from Chelsea, Tuchel was questioned about connections to international football and the England team during an interview with The Hindu at the tournament.
He responded, "Sure, why not take the lead of a national team? I definitely would. I haven't really considered it much until now."
"I would definitely think about it if the team was a good fit and had the chance to win prestigious titles like the World Cup or the Euros."
"I understand your perspective on England. However, I believe they currently have a strong coach."
"The team is exceptionally skilled and highly capable. I won't make any further remarks on other matters."
