Premier League Club Told To Avoid Signing The Special One Jose Mourinho (SEE WHY)
Thomas Tuchel has been appointed England manager from 1 January 2025.
The 51-year-old German becomes the third non-British permanent manager of the men’s team after Sven-Goran Eriksson and Fabio Capello.
Gareth Southgate resigned in July after England’s defeat by Spain in the Euro 2024 final.
Lee Carsley, who was appointed interim manager in August, will remain in charge for the Nations League matches against Greece and the Republic of Ireland next month.
English coach Anthony Barry will be Tuchel’s assistant.
The Football Association said Tuchel was the “preferred candidate” from the “several candidates” interviewed.
It said the FA board approved the decision last week and Tuchel signed a contract on 8 October.
Former Everton player, Alan Stubbs has warned the Premier League club against hiring Jose Mourinho as their next manager.
There have been speculations that Everton’s incoming owners want to bring Mourinho to Goodison Park.
The Friedkin Group’s takeover of Everton is currently going through after they reached an agreement to buy Farhad Moshiri’s majority 94 percent stake of the club.
Owner and CEO of the company, Dan Friedkin, is said to be interested in appointing the Portuguese, who is currently the manager of Fernabahce.
Mourinho has managed the likes of Real Madrid, Chelsea and Manchester United, Inter Milan and Porto in the past.
However, Stubbs believes Mourinho, 61, is not the same manager who was regarded as one of the best in the world in the past.
“If Everton were going to appoint the Mourinho of old, the young Mourinho who was so successful and charismatic, then I would say yes bring him into the football club, and without being disrespectful to Sean Dyche, I think most Everton fans would because peak Mourinho was a very special manager,” Stubbs told BestBettingSites.
“If Everton were going to move for him now, I don’t think it would be a good move to be honest.
“His last few spells in management haven’t really worked out for him. He still provides that bit of sparkle.”
Former Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has been appointed global head of soccer at Red Bull.
The 57-year-old German will begin the role on 1 January 2025.
“After almost 25 years on the sideline, I could not be more excited to get involved in a project like this,” said Klopp.
“The role may have changed but my passion for football and the people who make the game what it is has not.”
Energy drinks brand Red Bull owns RB Leipzig in Germany’s Bundesliga, Austrian side Red Bull Salzburg and Major League Soccer side New York Red Bulls, as well as Brazilian side Red Bull Bragantino.
It also took a minority stake in Championship side Leeds and became the club’s front-of-shirt sponsor earlier this year.
Red Bull says Klopp will not be involved in day-to-day operations but will advise teams on playing philosophy, transfer strategy and coaching development.
