Thomas Tuchel (German pronunciation: [\u02c8to\u02d0mas \u02c8t\u028axl\u0329];^[4] born 29 August 1973) is a German professional football manager and former player who is the manager of the England national team. Widely regarded as a forward thinking tactical innovator, Tuchel is considered one of the best managers in the world.^[a]\n

Born in Krumbach, Tuchel retired as a footballer at age 25 due to a knee cartilage injury. He began his coaching career in 2000 as a youth coach at VfB Stuttgart. In 2009, after a one-year period as the head coach of FC Augsburg II, he was hired by Mainz 05, leaving the club in 2014. He was appointed at Borussia Dortmund in 2015 and won the DFB-Pokal before being dismissed in 2017. Tuchel was hired by Paris Saint-Germain in 2018 and won two league titles, including a domestic quadruple in his second season, and guided the club to its first UEFA Champions League final.\n

Tuchel became head coach at Chelsea in 2021 and won the Champions League in his debut season, being named The Best FIFA Football Coach. He also won the UEFA Super Cup and Chelsea's first FIFA Club World Cup. After disagreements with club management, Tuchel was dismissed in 2022. He signed with Bayern Munich in 2023 and won the Bundesliga before being dismissed in 2024. He was then announced as England manager in October 2024, then officially becoming head coach in January 2025.\n
