Thomas Tuchel open to replace Gareth Southgate as England manager following Chelsea sacking

Former Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel is open to the idea of replacing Gareth Southgate as England manager after he was sacked at Stamford Bridge, according to a report from the Telegraph. The current Three Lions boss has been under pressure in recent months after the national team struggled through a Nations League campaign that saw them relegated to League B.

The FA have stuck with Southgate, with the World Cup just one month away during an unusual mid-season break due to it being hosted in Qatar. The tournament could be the real litmus test for the manager, who insisted last week that he is planning to be in charge for Euro 2024.

The 52-year-old has claimed that he won't outstay his welcome at the post though, and has also admitted that poor results in Qatar next month could force him out of a job. That is despite his previous tournament performances, having helped the nation reach a World Cup semi-final and a European Championships final in his six years in charge.
