Thomas Tuchel was hired as England coach on Wednesday and will take on the challenge of ending the national team's decades-long wait for a trophy.

The German, who previously managed Paris Saint-Germain, Chelsea and Bayern Munich, will begin his tenure in January ahead of the 2026 World Cup in the United States.

"We are thrilled to have hired Thomas Tuchel, one of the best coaches in the world," English Football Association CEO Mark Bullingham said in a statement.

Tuchel has won major trophies across Europe and is England's third foreign coach, after the late Sven-Goran Eriksson and Fabio Capello.

"I have long felt a personal connection to the game in this country, and it has given me some incredible moments already," Tuchel said. "To have the chance to represent England is a huge privilege, and the opportunity to work with this special and talented group of players is very exciting."
