Thomas Tuchel is in ‘pole position’ to become the next England manager after the Football Association reportedly held talks with his representatives.
The FA have been searching for a new head coach since Gareth Southgate stepped down following defeat to Spain in the Euro 2024 final.
Lee Carsley, who was placed in interim charge of the Three Lions for the Uefa Nations League campaign, had been considered the favourite for the job by the bookmakers, but is not in consideration for the role on a permanent basis.
Reports emerged this week that the FA had not made a formal approach to any of the leading candidates, which included Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola, Newcastle United manager Eddie Howe, Jurgen Klopp and Graham Potter.
