Erik ten Hag's Future at Man Utd”>Thomas Tuchel
has denied reports that he rejected an offer from Manchester United to become the new manager of the England national team. Tuchel, who left Bayern Munich in May, was a highly sought-after candidate by several European clubs during the summer transfer window, including Manchester United. However, Erik ten Hag’s position at United came under scrutiny after a poor start to the Premier League season, and Tuchel was once again linked as a potential replacement. Instead, Tuchel opted to take on the role of England manager. During his introductory press conference, Tuchel clarified that his decision was not a reflection on Manchester United and that he chose the England job based on its merits alone.The search for Gareth Southgate‘s successor as England manager has been led by FA technical director John McDermott and chief executive Mark Bullingham. Bullingham explained that they had a clear recruitment plan in place prior to Euro 2024 and had developed an ideal profile for an international coach. After Southgate resigned following England’s loss in the final against Spain, they executed their plan and evaluated potential candidates. According to Bullingham, Thomas Tuchel stood out among them with his clear vision for working with players and giving England the best chance in future competitions.
it seems that Thomas Tuchel’s decision to become England’s new manager was based solely on his belief in the job itself rather than any rejection of Manchester United or other clubs’ offers. The FA is confident in their choice and believes that Tuchel will bring success to the national team moving forward.
