In the event that Gareth Southgate walks down, Thomas Tuchel wants to manage England.
Although the FA finally chose to prolong Southgate’s contract, Tuchel was willing to take over as Southgate’s successor following the 2022 World Cup.
The FA is eager for Southgate to extend his contract once more because it expires in December of this year.
But following his defeat in the Euro final, the manager raised questions about his future in a live TV interview.
In the wake of the defeat, Southgate made a rare reference to the England team as “they” and declined to address his immediate future.
“I believe that England is in a really good position with the experiences they currently possess,” he stated. The squad’s age.
“The majority of this team will be present for both the next Euros and the World Cup.
“There’s a lot to look forward to but this moment is not any consolation.”
The most recent stint as Bayern Munich’s manager was from March 2023 to the end of the current campaign.

Although he was fired in February, his execution was postponed until this summer.
Having already won the Champions League, the Bundesliga, and the French league title, he is one of the most well-known managers to be connected to the England position thus far.
The FA and Tuchel have not communicated, but according to SunSport, the German is still very interested in the position.
In the event that Southgate leaves, Graham Potter is currently the bookies’ favorite to succeed him.
In contrast, Tuchel is an outsider at 33/1.
The FA is also eager to speak with Eddie Howe, the manager of Newcastle, but the Magpies would be hesitant to lose their leader.
Another manager the FA has admired in the past, Mauricio Pochettino, is currently unemployed after leaving Chelsea this summer with mutual consent.
Lee Carsley, the coach of the Under-21s, might take Southgate’s lead and move up from the young teams to the senior squad.
Stranger rumors have connected Pep Guardiola and Jurgen Klopp to the position, and Frank Lampard has even been mentioned as a potential Southgate replacement.
