Former Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel has been named as the new England manager.
The 51-year-old German, who has signed an 18-month contract, becomes the third non-British permanent manager of the men’s team after Sven-Goran Eriksson and Fabio Capello.
Tuchel whose contract begins in January 1 2025 will replace Gareth Southgate
Gareth Southgate resigned in July after England’s defeat by Spain in the Euro 2024 final.
Lee Carsley, who has overseen four games since being appointed interim manager in August, will remain in charge for the Nations League matches against Greece and the Republic of Ireland next month.
The FA approached Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola in the summer to see if he had an interest in the role, while Newcastle United boss Eddie Howe and ex-Brighton and Chelsea manager Graham Potter were also linked with the position.
English coach Anthony Barry, who worked with Tuchel at Chelsea and Bayern, will be his assistant.
Tuchel won the German Cup with Borussia Dortmund and two Ligue 1 titles at Paris St-Germain, including a domestic treble in 2019-20.
He became Chelsea manager in January 2021, winning the Champions League, Club World Cup and Uefa Super Cup before being sacked in September 2022.
After Bayern failed to win the Bundesliga title last season for the first time since 2011-12, Tuchel left despite still having a year to run on his contract.
Carsley will return to manage England Under-21s when Tuchel takes over.
