The 51-year-old will be the third foreign manager of the men's team and the first from Germany.
The FA has had Tuchel on its shortlist for finding Gareth Southgate's permanent successor since the beginning of the process, a list that also included Manchester City's Pep Guardiola and the interim manager, Lee Carsley, among others.
