Tuchel takes on England's "impossible" job

Thomas Tuchel is formally announced as England's new head coach.

Why has Thomas Tuchel swapped club football for the England job? Why has he only got an 18-month contract? And why doesn't he start his new job until January?

Mark Chapman is joined by correspondent John Murray as well as former England internationals Andros Townsend and Rob Green to try and answer some of the key questions surrounding Tuchel's appointment.

We also hear from the German as he's formally unveiled at Wembley, and there's further reaction from ex-England strikers Gary Lineker and Alan Shearer.
