The England men's national team have been on the hunt for a new manager since Gareth Southgate left this summer after losing in the final of the Euro championships to Spain.
The FA are in talks with representatives of Thomas Tuchel, with the German coach in pole position to become the new England manager, Sky Sports News has been told. Tuchel has been out of work since May when he left Bayern Munich, and Sky Sports News reported two weeks ago that there had been no formal approach from the FA - to Tuchel or to a number of the other leading candidates - including Jurgen Klopp, Graham Potter and Eddie Howe.
While there was an initial inquiry to Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola's people, shortly after Southgate resigned in July, Sky Sports News have been told there has been no further developments in that area, and while he is hugely admired by senior figures at the FA, Guardiola is not currently thought to be an active candidate.
