Thomas Tuchel will start his England post on January 1 and will be assisted by English coach Anthony Barry; Lee Carsley will again take charge during the November international break; Tuchel: “We will do everything we can to make England successful and the supporters proud”.

Thomas Tuchel has been confirmed as the new England head coach by the FA.

The German – who becomes the Three Lions’ third foreign coach after Sven-Goran Eriksson and Fabio Capello – signed his contract on October 8 and will start work on January 1.

Tuchel will be assisted by English coach Anthony Barry, who worked with him at Chelsea and Bayern Munich.

Lee Carsley will remain in interim charge of the senior team during the November international break for games against Greece and the Republic of Ireland, before returning to his previous post as U21s manager.

“I am sorry that I have a German passport,” said Tuchel in his first press conference as head coach. “All of these supporters felt my passion for the Premier League and the country. I loved to live here.

“Hopefully I can show them [the fans] that I am proud to be the English manager and I will do everything to show respect to this job and this country.

“I am very emotional and I love what I am doing. I am passionate about football. This role just brought the young me alive and brought back my teenage days, to get excited for such a big task.”
