Kylian Mbappe 'endorsed' England's decision to hire Thomas Tuchel with French star still grateful for time together at PSG

Champions League

Paris Saint-Germain

Manchester City

<p>Tuchel was chosen to step into Gareth Southgate's shoes following his resignation as England boss after Euro 2024. The German tactician has plenty of pedigree and is now stepping into international football to try and bring it home for the Three Lions. The <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-14024597/What-Erik-ten-Hag-real-reasons-lost-Man-United-dressing-room-reveals-SAMI-MOKBEL.html" target="_blank"><em>Daily Mail</em></a> have revealed that behind the scenes, Mbappe has raved about Tuchel to his France team-mates and expects him to do well in his new role.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Mbappe and Tuchel shared a good relationship behind the scenes during their spell at Paris Saint-Germain, notably reaching the Champions League final in 2020. The forward <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/thomas-tuchel-snubbed-roma-chelsea-boss-appointed-england-manager/blte7faa02c0e978811" target="_blank">gave a "glowing appraisal" </a>of the 51-year-old and now believes England have a strong chance at winning the 2026 World Cup, which would be their first triumph since 1966.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Tuchel has become only the third<a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/arsene-wenger-questions-thomas-tuchel-england-appointment-former-arsenal-boss-explains/blt4472f16eababa5e2" target="_blank"> non-English manager </a>to take charge of the men's national team. Fabio Capello of Italy and Sven-Goran Eriksson of Sweden were the other two, but both failed to achieve anything significant during their time in charge.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>The former Chelsea boss will not take charge until 2025, leaving Lee Carsley to navigate the remaining international fixtures this year. Fans will have to wait until March to see Tuchel in the dugout as England manager for the first time.</p>
