So, Thomas Tuchel is the new England manager. It has been around 24 hours since his official unveiling at Wembley and it's an appointment some are very much still getting used to.

There is an ongoing debate online surrounding whether the England manager should be English and, in turn, whether there is an overriding problem with the lack of homegrown "elite" coaches in the country.

What are your thoughts? Is there a problem with English coaches? Get in touch using the details above, and we will feature the best correspondence throughout today on this live page.

Should the England manager be English? Why is there a severe lack of English coaches? Is there a problem with English coaches?

Here's what some of the pundits have had to say.

Former England forward Stan Collymore wrote on X, external: "So English coaches have to pay 10 times more than European compatriots to get the same qualification, and English players don't give SGP an identity because they never get there, they go straight to jobs where their fame gets them inflated salary and deal."

Elsewhere, former England defenders Gary Neville and Jamie Carragher have both been speaking to Sky Sports, external to give their thoughts.

Neville said: "There are serious questions for the FA to answer in respect of English coaching. I do think that we are damaging ourselves. Accepting that Thomas Tuchel is better than any of the English candidates but with the likes of Graham Potter and Eddie Howe, I do think there are outstanding candidates that could have been appointed that were English."

Carragher added: "It doesn't feel right to me that we have a foreign coach. It's not just about England. I don't think Italy should, France should, Germany should. England have got a brilliant manager but I think England should have an English manager."

German outlet Kicker has also reacted to the news of Thomas Tuchel becoming the 13th permanent head coach of England.

"A German! Of course, some fans in England will howl. But with Tuchel, the association has presented a well thought-out solution that will ensure that the big goal of winning the 2026 World Cup does not have to remain just a dream."

Brighton & Hove Albion

Brighton boss Fabian Hurzeler has said the club will "support" development coach Sam Baldock following the death of his brother George last week: "We feel really sorry for him and the family. Brighton prove all the time when things happen that the club is there for the players and staff members."

More from Brighton boss Fabian Hurzeler, on compatriot Thomas Tuchel being named England manager: "I'm happy for him - I really admire him. He has proved he can build a successful team quite fast. I wish him all the best. He is able to make the players better and he has tactical intelligence. In my opinion, he's a good choice."

More reaction to Thomas Tuchel's England appointment coming from German outlet Der Spiegel.

"English football is more globalised than German football, the clubs are often in the hands of foreign owners and they employ the best coaches in the industry. Recently, they have rarely come from Great Britain. The only current Premier League coach at a club with European Cup ambitions is Newcastle's Eddie Howe. He is yet to win a major title. And that is exactly what the English FA is all about - end their drought since their World Cup success in 1966. Tuchel can be trusted to do that."

A German in charge of the England national team? Who'd have thought it?

There's been a mixed reaction in the British media with some unhappy that the new head coach doesn't come from these shores but there have been plenty of positive reactions from those who have seen Thomas Tuchel's former sides play.

Here's the reaction to Tuchel's new role in Germany.

German newspaper BILD said: "The motherland of football gets a German dad. Madness! Since 1966 - 1966!!!! - the proud football nation has been waiting for a trophy (and sorry, even the World Cup victory only happened because the referee made a mistake). It will soon be 60 years without a title. In that time, we've won the World Cup three times and the European Championship three times. Oops. The despair on the island must be immense if they realise only a German can help now. What a tribute to Tuchel and German football that the English are jumping over their shadows despite the huge rivalry."

I think for Tuchel, as is the case with probably most managers, big successful ones that we think of, we don't think of them managing two international teams successfully. We tend to think of them as one.

I think it's interesting that a manager of that calibre is making the choice to manage England at this stage of their career, when potentially further down the road, they could have still been an option for Germany.

I can't see, however Tuchel does in this job from this point, I can’t see him managing Germany, which I would have thought for a German manager would be something which you perceive to be a pinnacle.

I think Thomas Tuchel is very close to Pep [Guardiola] in the way he thinks about football. Both of them, I think they're still friends, they talk to each other regularly.

I do believe Thomas Tuchel is a very good manager, but there have been question marks, of course, with some of the people he dealt with in previous clubs. I think that's the only question mark.

But from a footballing perspective, I do believe that it’s a very, very good appointment.

If you'd given me one guess at Robert's location, I reckon I'd have had a fair shot of getting it bang on.

BBC Sport has been told Thomas Tuchel thought he might only ever be a club coach - until the idea of having 18 months to deal with knockout games and the chance of winning the World Cup with the group of players that England has was an option too good to turn down.

The fact Tuchel has only signed his contract for 18 months is understood to be driven by the coach himself.

Sources told the BBC Tuchel sees the 18 months as a project and that he has a specific idea of how to attack that period of time.

His knockout record is strong and the fact the World Cup and the qualifiers would have a similar feel plays into the coach's strength of delivering results when it matters.

After the World Cup, there's a period for both parties to sit down and assess what has happened in the tournament and whether they would like to continue.

Mark Bullingham told BBC Sport's John Murray that Thomas Tuchel "fitted within" the FA's "really tight salary structure" - in the same way Southgate did on a reported £5m-6m a year.

A senior FA source told BBC Sport Tuchel is being paid slightly more than Southgate's most recent deal.

Bullingham said the FA "cannot afford to match the salaries the top clubs pay" but that the talented, young England squad and the structure around it was "something special to offer".

"To be fair, there were quite a few coaches interested who saw the opportunity way beyond financial measures," said Bullingham.

"Thomas absolutely bought into that. This is about far more than money for him and the team."

There had been conflicting media reports around the process of recruiting Gareth Southgate's successor. The FA was not guiding journalists either way on specific candidates, which meant speculative reports were published without any official comment from the FA.

Thomas Tuchel told the BBC the FA first approached him in late August.

Indeed, there were some reports within the past fortnight that Bullingham and McDermott - who led the recruitment process - had not even spoken to potential candidates such as Howe, Potter and Jurgen Klopp.

When pressed by BBC Sport's Dan Roan at Thursday's news conference at Wembley, Bullingham said "approximately 10 people", including "English candidates", were interviewed.

Earlier in the week - just before Tuchel's FA talks were reported - BBC Sport was told by two sources that the FA did make an approach to Guardiola earlier in the summer. Both Manchester City and the FA declined to comment.

Sources have told BBC Sport that John McDermott met Thomas Tuchel in Munich before a second meeting with Mark Bullingham.

Bullingham said Tuchel was "always on our target list" and so they made a "proactive approach to speak to him".

Tuchel said the "idea" was presented by McDermott and Bullingham "very fast, [and] confidential" and in a "very straightforward" way.

At that point, the FA was still speaking to other people "in the industry", Bullingham said.

Bullingham added: "He [Tuchel] was outstanding, he gave a really strong presentation, outlined how he felt he could help us win and the chemistry felt really good, and we concluded the partnership quite soon after that."

Sources have told BBC Sport that there was a real sense of keeping it personal between a group of four to limit the chat over messages.

Tom, Manchester: Re 08:33 - Sorry John, but I think that is disrespectful to Lee Carsley. He struggled to answer questions due to trying to keep Tuchel’s appointment confidential. The press really needs to give Carsley some leeway in this regard.
