Watch again as the Football Association held a press conference on Wednesday (16 October) as Thomas Tuchel was appointed the new England manager.
The former Chelsea, Paris St Germain and Bayern Munich manager becomes the third non-Englishman to hold the post after Sven-Goran Eriksson and Fabio Capello.
The 51-year-old, who will be assisted by English coach Anthony Barry, will take up the role on 1 January ahead of the World Cup qualifying campaign.
A Football Association statement revealed Tuchel signed a contract on 8 October before the latest round of international fixtures but the announcement was delayed to “minimise distraction around the international camp”.
Tuchel said on englandfootball.com: “I am very proud to have been given the honour of leading the England team.
“I have long felt a personal connection to the game in this country, and it has given me some incredible moments already.
“To have the chance to represent England is a huge privilege, and the opportunity to work with this special and talented group of players is very exciting.”
