Nagelsmann, Tuchel and Ancelotti to coach at World Cup 2026

Julian Nagelsmann, a former German top‑flight coach, will be on the touchlines at FIFA World Cup 2026. Nagelsmann joins the tournament alongside two other ex‑Bundesliga managers. Thomas Tuchel, also a former German top‑flight coach, will be a head coach at FIFA World Cup 2026. Tuchel adds to the trio of Bundesliga‑experienced coaches at the event. Carlo Ancelotti, another former German top‑flight coach, will be on the touchlines at FIFA World Cup 2026. Ancelotti completes the group of three ex‑Bundesliga managers at the competition. The three appointments give the Bundesliga representation on football’s biggest stage. The World Cup 2026 will therefore feature three coaches with experience in Germany’s premier league.
