It’s official, England’s new manager is Thomas Tuchel.

The former Chelsea and Bayern Munich boss reportedly signed a contract with the FA last week which will see him receive a salary worth around £5 million. 

Tuchel, who is German, will be just the third foreign manager to become England coach, after the late Sven-Goran Eriksson of Sweden and the Italian manager Fabio Capello. 

The Standard’s football reporter, Dom Smith, gives his verdict on the appointment, analyses the new manager’s credentials, and reveals the big tests that lie ahead.
