Sacked Chelsea boss Tuchel keen on England job

Sacked Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel would be open to taking the England manager's job.

The German was suddenly sacked by Chelsea's new owners in September and replaced by Graham Potter.

Bild says Tuchel would consider the Three Lions gig if it became available at some stage in the future after the World Cup.

Gareth Southgate is under the biggest pressure he has faced in his six years as head coach of the national team.

England are winless in six matches going into next month's winter tournament.

And there is some suggestion Southgate could walk away from the job after Qatar 2022, regardless of how far his side go - although his contract runs until December 2024.
