Thomas Tuchel has agreed a deal to become the new England manager, becoming only the third non-English manager of the national team.
Tuchel, who has been out of work since leaving Bayern Munich in May, is set to make his first venture into international football management with the Three Lions as Gareth Southgate's permanent replacement.
The FA have reportedly been searching for a manager with a proven track record of winning trophies, hoping to end England's long wait for silverware, which now stands at at 58 years.
Tuchel has just that, winning league titles with both Bayern and PSG, as well as the Champions League, Super Cup and Club World Cup with Chelsea.
It is expected that he will be unveiled on Wednesday.
The German becomes only the third non-English manager of the men's national team, following on from Sven-Goran Eriksson and Fabio Capello.
Tuchel's will take over on January 1 2025, meaning his first games will be World Cup qualifiers.
