Thomas Tuchel, former Chelsea boss, has accepted the role of England manager.
Two sources have told the BBC that German Tuchel will be the third non-British permanent manager of the England men’s team after Eriksson and Capello.
England lost the Euro 2024 final against Spain and has been without a permanent manager since Gareth Southgate resigned.
Lee Carsley, appointed by the Football Association as an interim manager, will remain in charge for England’s last two Nations League games against Greece and the Republic of Ireland in November. Tuchel is expected to officially take over after those matches.
Tuchel’s formal presentation is anticipated to take place at Wembley on Wednesday.
His main objective is leading England in securing qualification for the 2026 World Cup in the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
Manchester City also contacted Pep Guardiola in the summer to inquire about his interest in the manager position.
Tuchel is well-acquainted with English football, having been in charge of Chelsea from January 2021 to September 2022.
The 51-year-old secured the Champions League, Fifa Club World Cup, and Uefa Super Cup with the Blues before his dismissal.
The former manager of Bayern Munich, Paris St-Germain, and Borussia Dortmund announced in June that he was not interested in becoming the new Manchester United coach despite meeting with Red Devils co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe in France.
His accomplishments include winning the German Cup with Dortmund and earning two Ligue 1 titles at PSG, including a domestic treble in 2019-20.
He departed his role as Bayern manager despite having a year remaining on his contract following the club’s failure to win the Bundesliga title last season.
BBC Sport contacted the FA, Tuchel’s representatives, and Manchester City, but none of them provided a public comment.
