Harry Kane has hailed Thomas Tuchel as a ‘fantastic’ coach as the Football Association launch advanced discussions over the former Chelsea boss becoming the next England manager. The Three Lions captain expects to hold talks with FA chiefs during their search for Gareth Southgate’s successor.
Tuchel has emerged as the strong favourite to become the next permanent head coach. Recent days have reportedly seen talks accelerated with the 51-year-old, who has been out of work since leaving Bayern Munich in May.
He finished a disappointing third with the Bavarians during his only campaign in charge but he managed to get the best out of England star Kane. The 31-year-old forward scored 44 goals in 45 appearances under the German.
Asked of reports about the FA’s interest in Tuchel, Kane said: “Until it’s announced obviously I can’t really comment, but we have to wait and see. Obviously, I know Thomas well from last year.
“Fantastic coach, fantastic person, so I am sure the guys at the FA will contact me, when they know more about it.”
