Tuchel will be assisted by Anthony Barry, who worked with the German at Chelsea and Bayern Munich, with further backroom staff appointments to be confirmed in the near future.
The FA says Tuchel signed his contract on October 8, with “several candidates” interviewed as part of the process. The terms of Tuchel’s contract will include a bonus for winning the World Cup, the next edition of which will be staged in 2026 across the U.S., Mexico and Canada. The FA has not yet confirmed the length of Tuchel and Barry’s deals.
Pep Guardiola was the FA’s top choice to replace Gareth Southgate and the admiration for the Catalan remains. The 53-year-old’s Manchester City contract is due to expire at the end of this season and he is yet to make a decision on his future.
