Thomas Tuchel’s Brazilian girlfriend is Natalie Max, who became the England manager’s partner after the German coach divorced his former wife in 2022.

Tuchel, who was officially announced as the new head coach of the Three Lions on Wednesday to replace Gareth Southgate, has been dating Max for over two years.

Max is 13 years younger than Tuchel and it is believed that the duo have been in a relationship since May 2022, just a month after his marriage ended in April 2022.

Here’s everything you need to know about Tuchel’s love life since his divorce with former wife Sissi.

Who is Thomas Tuchel’s current girlfriend Natalie Max?
Natalie Guerriero Max is the 37-year-old girlfriend of England head coach Thomas Tuchel.

The Brazilian brunette has worked as a director at consulting agency Natexo since March 2014.

Max, who has two children from a previous relationship as well as a pet dog, lives in London and it is thought that things got ‘serious’ with Tuchel in July 2022 when they went on holiday together to Sardinia.

‘Tuchel and Natalie are smitten with each other,’ a friend told the Daily Mail two years ago. ‘They’ve been spending a lot of quality time together in west London.

‘Tuchel is really lovely and has made Natalie’s friends feel welcome, he’s definitely in this for the long haul.’

Who is Thomas Tuchel’s ex-wife Sissi and do they have any children?

Thomas Tuchel was married to his ex-wife Sisi for 13 years. They divorced in April 2022 after they ‘exhausted all avenues’ and there was no hope of a reconciliation.

The couple had two daughters – Emma and Kim – and the family set up a home in Cobham, Surrey when Tuchel became Chelsea’s head coach in 2021.

It was reported that Sissi, a journalist, gave up her job at German newspaper Süddeutsche Zeitung to focus on raising the two children.

Sissi was an ‘integral part’ of Tuchel’s inner circle and was seen running across the pitch when the German led Chelsea to glory in the 2021 Champions League final.

Thomas Tuchel was named England’s new manager on Wednesday, with the German set to start on January 1, 2025.

The 51-year-old, who has been out of work since leaving Bayern Munich at the end of last season, succeeds Englishman Gareth Southgate as permanent coach and becomes the third foreign manager of the Three Lions after Sven-Goran Eriksson and Fabio Capello.

A former coach of Chelsea, Borussia Dortmund, Paris Saint-Germain, and Bayern Munich, Tuchel has the trophy-winning pedigree that the FA is seeking to help end a 58-year wait to win a major tournament.

However, the move has drawn criticism over the FA’s unwillingness to trust an Englishman with its top job.

Tuchel will be assisted by English coach Anthony Barry, who worked alongside him at Bayern Munich.

“I am very proud to have been given the honour of leading the England team,” Tuchel said in a FA statement.

“I have long felt a personal connection to the game in this country, and it has given me some incredible moments already. To have the chance to represent England is a huge privilege, and the opportunity to work with this special and talented group of players is very exciting.”

Tuchel won league titles at PSG and Bayern and the German Cup with Dortmund, but his greatest success came during his time in English football at Chelsea.

He led the Blues to Champions League glory just months after taking charge in 2021 and also won the UEFA Super Cup and Club World Cup with the London club.

Tuchel was sacked in September 2022 in a bold early move by Chelsea’s new ownership group that did not pay off.

He becomes the permanent successor to Southgate, who led the Three Lions to back-to-back finals of the European Championship, plus a World Cup semi-final and quarter-final in his four major tournaments in charge.

England are still yet to win a major men’s tournament since the 1966 World Cup on home soil.

“We are thrilled to have hired Thomas Tuchel, one of the best coaches in the world,” said FA CEO Mark Bullingham.

“Since Gareth resigned, we have worked through the candidate pool, meeting a number of coaches and evaluating them against that criteria.

A 96th-minute winner from Sadio Mané earned Senegal a 1-0 win over Malawi and a place at the Africa Cup of Nations finals in Morocco next year, but Ghana are in serious danger of missing out after a surprise loss to Sudan on Tuesday.

Senegal had 30 attempts at goal against their hosts but it took until the final seconds for Mané to seal victory with a 25-yard free kick that curled into the bottom corner of the net.

The 2021 winners, who recently parted ways with long-time coach Aliou Cissé, join Burkina Faso as the qualified nations from group L in the 24-team finals with two more matches to play in the November international window.

Ghana slumped to a 2-0 loss against Sudan in neutral Libya as Ahmed Al-Tash and Mohamed Abdel Rahman scored within three minutes of each other in the second half.

Ghana look set to miss a first continental finals since 2004 having managed a paltry two points from their four games, five adrift of the qualification positions with a difficult trip to pool leaders Angola next up.
