Thomas Tuchel officially began his tenure as England manager on 1 January 2025 following his appointment announced last year.
The 51-year-old German coach, renowned for leading Chelsea to a Champions League title in 2021, has also secured league titles in France and Germany. His most recent position was with Bayern Munich, from which he departed after the team failed to clinch the Bundesliga title last season.
Thomas' appointment marks a pivotal moment for England, as he strives to end the nation's 60-year wait for a major trophy. And as England gears up for its World Cup qualifier against Latvia at Wembley tonight, all eyes are on Tuchel to lead the team to success.

Notoriously private when he's not under the spotlight, here's all you need to know about England's new manager's home life...
Ex-wife Sissi
Thomas married his journalist wife Sissi, 48, in 2009, with the brunette beauty moving to England seven months after the star started managing Chelsea. Sissi was reportedly working at one of Germany's biggest titles, Süddeutsche Zeitung, at the time of the move and quit her career in order to focus on raising their daughters.
During their time in England, the pair owned a home in Cobham, Surrey, in which they lived in with their two daughters.

Girlfriend Natalie Max
Two months after he split from Sissi, Thomas was seen with Brazilian consultant Natalie Max, who is 13 years his junior. The duo were seen enjoying each other's company on a yacht in Sardinia before heading to a villa later in the evening.
