British press reports circulated the salary that Thomas Tuchel will receive in coaching the England national team.
Tuchel was appointed as the permanent successor to the resigned coach Gareth Southgate, with a contract extending until the end of the 2026 World Cup in America, Canada and Mexico.
Tuchel became the first German coach in the history of the England national team, which angered many who preferred the idea of contracting an English coach to lead his country.
How much is Tuchel’s salary with the England national team?
According to recent reports, Thomas Tuchel’s salary for the England national team will be 6 million euros annually.
The German will become the highest paid in the history of the “Three Lions” team.
There is a big difference between Tuchel’s salary and the salary of former coach Gareth Southgate, who was earning only 3.6 million euros.
A big concession from Tuchel
Although his salary with England seems very large, it is in fact much less than what he was receiving while coaching Bayern Munich.
The German’s salary with Bayern Munich was 10 million euros per year, with a contract that extended for 3 years.
Despite his dismissal at the end of last season, Tuchel continued to receive his salary normally from Bayern Munich until the contract was terminated between the two parties.
As soon as the opportunity to work in England arrived, Bayern Munich immediately agreed, without receiving compensation for leaving their employee, in order to remove the coach from their payroll.
When will Tuchel’s mission with the England national team begin?
Tuchel reached an agreement with the English Football Association to take over the mission, but starting next year.
This means that Tuchel’s first match in his position will be during the next international break in March.
If the English succeed in passing the group stage of the European Nations League, Tuchel will find his first task is to play the quarter-finals next March.
Tuchel’s goal
It is worth noting that the English media confirmed that the goal agreed upon with Tuchel is to win the 2026 World Cup.
The sun of the World Cup has been absent from England since 1966, and since then the English have not won any championship, whether the Euro, the Nations League, or others.
The opportunity will be available to Tuchel first in the Nations League, then the most important test will come in the summer of 2026 with the World Cup.
