Tuchel’s appointment follows Gareth Southgate’s resignation in July, after England’s defeat to Spain in the Euro 2024 final.

Lee Carsley, who took over as interim manager in August, will continue to lead the team for the upcoming Nations League matches against Greece and the Republic of Ireland in November.
