The former Chelsea, Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich manager becomes the third non-Englishman to hold the post after Sven-Göran Eriksson and Fabio Capello.
The 51 year-old German, who will be assisted by English coach Anthony Barry, said ‘I understood very quickly that is it is a big job, I think always the job you are in is the biggest job and it makes no sense to compare, but it feels big and feels like a privilege.’ Tuchel added that he will be ‘a national coach every day’ and that he ‘loves to live and work’ in England following his experience at Chelsea.
