Thomas Tuchel expressed his excitement and honor at being appointed as the new manager of the England national football team, succeeding Gareth Southgate. The former head coach of Chelsea, Paris Saint-Germain, and Bayern Munich is now the third non-Englishman to take on this prestigious role, following in the footsteps of Sven-Göran Eriksson and Fabio Capello. At 51 years old, Tuchel acknowledged the significance of the position, stating, "I understood very quickly that it is a big job. I believe that every job you hold is the biggest job, and comparing them makes little sense, but this one feels substantial and like a privilege." He emphasized his commitment to being "a national coach every day" and expressed his fondness for living and working in England, a sentiment shaped by his previous experience at Chelsea.
