Thomas Tuchel takes charge of England having achieved considerable success at club level, including Champions League glory with Chelsea and league titles in his native Germany and France.

Here, the PA news agency looks at the major trophies the 51-year-old has on his CV.

After taking Mainz into Europe, Tuchel succeeded Jurgen Klopp at Dortmund in the summer of 2015 and oversaw them finishing as runners-up in the Bundesliga in his first season in the job, as well as in the DFB-Pokal. The team then claimed the cup a year later, with Tuchel securing his first piece of major silverware as his side beat Eintracht Frankfurt 2-1 in the final.

Tuchel was appointed head coach of PSG in 2018 and the first campaign of his tenure saw them retain the Ligue 1 title. There was then a clean sweep of the league, Coupe de France and Coupe de la Ligue in 2019-20 – St Etienne and Lyon beaten in the respective finals – as well as the team reaching the Champions League final, which they lost 1-0 to Bayern Munich.

Chelsea

Tuchel got his hands on the European Cup in his next job, and only four months after taking over from Frank Lampard at Chelsea in January 2021, as Kai Havertz’s goal secured a 1-0 win over Manchester City in Porto. That was then followed up by winning the Super Cup, with victory on penalties against Villarreal, and Club World Cup, beating Palmeiras 2-1 after extra time in the final. Tuchel’s time at the Blues helm also included them being runners-up in the FA Cup twice and in the League Cup.

Bayern Munich

Coming in at Bayern in March 2023, Tuchel subsequently led them to their 11th successive Bundesliga title. Then what proved to be his one full season in the job last term saw the team come third in the league, with Xabi Alonso’s Bayer Leverkusen claiming the league crown, and reach the semi-finals of the Champions League.
