Ex-Chelsea boss Tuchel chasing England job

Sacked Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel is keen on the England job.

The Sun says he wants the England job — if Gareth Southgate decides to walk away.

The former Chelsea chief is back in Germany after being sacked by the Blues in September.

But Tuchel, 49, would love to make a swift return to England as boss of the Three Lions.

He has seen first-hand all the young talent at the country's disposal, both at Stamford Bridge and in opposition teams.

Chelsea stars Mason Mount, Reece James, Conor Gallagher, Raheem Sterling and Ben Chilwell have all been part of the current set-up.

The FA is desperate for Southgate to stay on despite Saturday's 2-1 World Cup quarter-final defeat to France.
