'I liked England's proposal' — Tuchel explains why he rejected Man United but accepted Three Lions job
Thomas Tuchel explained why he turned down the chance to coach Manchester United but accepted the England FA's proposal.
In an interview with BBC, Tuchel expressed optimism about England's prospects.
"Nothing is impossible in sports.
"The federation is there, the women did it, the under-21s did it, so there is no reason [we can't]."
The 51-year-old also emphasised the need to break free from England's historical baggage.
"At some point we have to free ourselves from history, we have to focus on the process and this will start from January."
"I was unsure about taking this job at first, but I'm thrilled to work with this very special and exciting group of players."
Tuchel replaces Gareth Southgate, who resigned after eight years at the helm following England's Euro 2024 final loss to Spain in July.
