Harry Kane reacts to Thomas Tuchel link with England manager job

After the former Chelsea manager was connected to the England position, Harry Kane praised Thomas Tuchel as a “fantastic coach and a fantastic person.”

After appointing Lee Carsley as temporary manager for England’s six Nations League games in September, October, and November, the Football Association is still looking for a permanent replacement for Gareth Southgate.

According to rumors, Tuchel, 51, would be open to directing the national team after the FA reportedly made contact with him.

Kane worked alongside Tuchel at Bayern Munich last season and the England captain has appeared to endorse the FA’s approach.

‘To be honest, I haven’t heard anything specific about it yet. That’s why I can’t really comment on it until it’s officially announced,’ Kane told Sky Sports Germany.

‘We’ll have to wait and see what happens. I obviously know Thomas very well from the last year.

‘He’s a fantastic coach and a fantastic person. I’m sure the FA will contact me when they know more about this issue.’

Tuchel has won league titles with both Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain, while the won the Champions League during his time at Chelsea.

The German, who is currently out of work after he agreed to leave Bayern at the end of last season, has also held talks with Manchester United about replacing Erik ten Hag.

Elsewhere, the FA has also made an informal approach for Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola.

The Catalan is out of contract with City at the end of the season but has not ruled out extending his stay with the Premier League champions.
