BREAKING: Ex Chelsea Manager Thomas Tuchel Appoint As New England Manager—-Former Chelsea head coach Thomas Tuchel has officially signed his contract as the new England manager following his departure from Bayern Munchen after a poor season where he finished below Bundesliga Champions Bayer Leverkusen for the 2023/2024 season.

The German manager, who has been without a club since leaving Bayern in the summer, will replace Gareth Southgate, who resigned following England’s defeat to Spain in the Euro 2024 final in July.

Tuchel, 51, previously led Chelsea to a Champions League victory in 2021, but was dismissed the following year.

He becomes the first non- English manager to take on the England role since Fabio Capello’s resignation in 2012 and only the third overall, joining Capello and Sven-Goran Eriksson.

In addition to his Champions League success, Tuchel has also secured a Super Cup and a Club World Cup during his tenure with Chelsea, along with league titles in France and Germany while managing Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich, respectively.

Before his appointment, Tuchel was among the bookmakers’ favourites for the England job, alongside Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola, who was approached by the Football Association but did not pursue the position.

Lee Carsley, the England under -21 coach, served as the interim manager during the four autumn Nations League matches, leading the team to three wins. However, a 2-1 defeat to Greece raised questions about his suitability for a permanent role.

Tuchel’s coaching career began after a brief playing stint, cut short by a serious knee injury at age 24.

He earned a degree in business administration while working as a waiter and became a youth coach before being appointed as Mainz manager in 2009, leading the team to its first Europa League qualification and establishing himself as one of Germany’s most tactically savvy coaches.

BREAKING: Ex-Chelsea Captain César Azpilicueta Announces Retirement From Football—-Spanish defender brings curtain down on trophy-laden career after spells with Chelsea, Atlético Madrid and Sevilla.

Former Chelsea FC captain César Azpilicueta has officially announced his retirement from professional football at the age of 36.

The Spanish defender confirmed that he will hang up his boots at the end of the season, bringing an end to a remarkable career that spanned nearly two decades.

He shared this news via his social media handles.

Azpilicueta enjoyed his most successful years at Chelsea after joining the club from Marseille in 2012. During his 11-year spell at Stamford Bridge, he made more than 500 appearances and became the first player in the club’s history to win every major trophy available.

As Chelsea captain, Azpilicueta famously lifted the UEFA Champions League trophy in 2021 under Thomas Tuchel, adding to Premier League, Europa League, FA Cup, UEFA Super Cup and FIFA Club World Cup triumphs during his time in London.

Following his departure from Chelsea in 2023, the veteran defender spent two seasons with Atlético Madrid before joining Sevilla FC for the final chapter of his career.

Azpilicueta also represented Spain at international level, earning 44 senior caps and featuring in multiple FIFA World Cups and European Championships.

In an emotional farewell message, the defender admitted it was difficult to make the decision but thanked supporters, teammates, coaches and clubs who shaped his journey in football.

Tributes have since poured in from fans and former teammates, with many describing Azpilicueta as one of Chelsea’s greatest modern-day captains and one of the most respected defenders of his generation.

BREAKING: Shock Omissions as Palmer and Alexander-Arnold Miss England World Cup Selection—-Ex-Chelsea Manager Thomas Tuchel makes bold selection calls ahead of tournament in North America.

England manager Thomas Tuchel has made several major selection decisions after leaving Cole Palmer and Trent Alexander-Arnold out of the Three Lions’ final squad for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

The omissions have quickly sparked debate among fans and pundits, with both players considered among England’s biggest talents in recent years.

According to reports, Tuchel opted for balance, tactical flexibility, and current form when finalising his 26-man squad for the tournament in the United States, Canada, and Mexico.

Palmer’s exclusion comes despite the Chelsea star’s strong performances over the last two seasons, while Alexander-Arnold reportedly missed out due to tactical preferences and competition in defensive areas.

The squad announcement also saw several surprise inclusions, including Ivan Toney and Djed Spence, while experienced names such as Jordan Henderson earned recalls.

Other notable absentees include Harry Maguire and Phil Foden as Tuchel reshapes the squad ahead of England’s World Cup campaign.

England will head into the tournament hoping to end decades of hurt and finally lift the World Cup trophy for the first time since 1966.
