New England boss Thomas Tuchel will get HUGE bonus if he wins the next World Cup
NEW England boss Thomas Tuchel will trouser a bonus of £3million if he wins the next World Cup.
Victory with the Three Lions in 2026 would bump Tuchel’s pay packet up to £10.5million over his 18-month contract.

The bonus is £1million lower than the £4million on the table for Gareth Southgate if he won either the 2022 World Cup or Euro 2024.
However German manager Tuchel’s £5million a year salary is double Southgate’s £2.5million pay packet.
A source said: “Tuchel could possibly have earned much more at a Premier League club and has gone on record to say how proud he is to lead the England team and the opportunity to work with this special group of players.”
He starts his new job in March as England look to qualify for the 2026 tournament taking place in Canada, Mexico and the US.

Tuchel, 51, has won league titles in France with Paris Saint-Germain and in Germany at Bayern Munich.
He also lifted the Champions League with Chelsea in 2021.
Tuchel was unveiled as the new England manager last Wednesday.
He revealed the FA first contacted him in August and he agreed terms with officials earlier this month.
Tuchel has asked for supporters who wanted an English manager to give him a chance.
He said: “I am sorry I just have a German passport but maybe the supporters can feel my passion for the Premier League, my passion for the country, how I love to live and work here.
“I will do everything to show respect to this role and to this country. This is the biggest one in world football and everybody can be assured, no matter what nationality my passport says.
“Everyone has their opinion. Even if someone says ‘I would fancy an English coach more’, I can understand it. But I think we deserve a fair chance. We deserve the credit for having a good record.
“Maybe this counts a little bit for a British edge on my German passport.
“So we will try to convince them by results and the way we play. It starts for us in January. We will dive in.”
The FA was asked to comment.

Great Britain’s Anna Morris claimed gold in the women’s individual pursuit on the penultimate day of the Track Cycling World Championships in Denmark.
The 29-year-old trailed Chloe Dygert with three laps to go, but was able to overhaul the American in the final quarter of the race to win by just over three-tenths of a second in a time of three minutes 16.56 seconds.
She told BBC Sport: “I’m in disbelief. Chloe posted an incredible time in the qualifying round and I did a huge personal best, so I wasn’t sure how much more I had to give.
“I felt like I could potentially have gone a bit harder at the start so I went out a little bit harder [in the final], tried to keep it as controlled as I could, and at the end I could hear my team-mates and coach screaming, so I knew I must be close [to winning].
“The calibre of rider that Chloe is, I didn’t think I had much of a chance, so it just shows that if you dig deep and see what you’ve got, sometimes you do surprise yourself.”
Also in Ballerup on Saturday, Sophie Capewell and Katy Marchant took silver and bronze respectively in the women’s 500m time trial, while Katie Archibald and Neah Evans won bronze in the women’s madison.

(Story updated following UFC Fight Night 245 on Oct. 19.)
SIR Chris Hoy revealed his wife has been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis as the Scots Olympic legend announced his cancer is terminal.
Just weeks before the Scots cyclist was told he had up to four years left to live, Hoy’s wife Sarra, 44, was diagnosed with incurable MS.

Faced with the shock news, the couple admitted they have not yet told their two children, aged seven and 10, about Sarra’s diagnosis.
Sir Chris told The Sunday Times: “I never want to lie to them. But there are certain things you don’t need to tell them straight away.”
However, the young kids have been made aware of the full extent of their father’s illness.
Sir Chris revealed he tells them “Daddy will get more treatment and we will deal with it as it comes.”
For Sarra’s treatment, Hoy also told of how the couple were given a choice between a lower-risk but less effective treatment and a riskier but more effective option.
They opted for the low-risk course of action.
MS is a degenerative and incurable disease.
It can affect the brain or spinal cord and impair vision and movement.
The cycling legend explained that on a bad day, his wife can struggle to complete simple everyday tasks like fitting a key in the door.
But he says she “loves running” and gym classes and stays positive by refusing to pay heed to her condition.
Hoy added: “She says all the time, ‘How lucky are we? We both have incurable illnesses for which there is some treatment. Not every disease has that. It could be a lot worse.’ ”
This news comes as the Scots cycling hero revealed his cancer is terminal.
The six-time Olympic champion, 48, announced back in February that he was battling the disease.
But Sir Chris knew back then that his cancer was terminal.
A tumour was found in his shoulder last year and a scan later found the primary cancer in his prostate.
Now, the prostate cancer has metastasised to his bones.

UFC Vegas 99 bonuses: Anthony Hernandez earns lone Performance of the Night after battering Michel Pereira
Anthony Hernandez earned the biggest win of his career and another $50,000 to boot.
Hernandez dominated Michel Pereira in the main event of Saturday’s UFC Vegas 99 card at the UFC APEX en route to a fifth-round TKO win. Pereira landed a big flurry early on, but for the next 20-plus minutes, it was “Fluffy” wearing Pereira down with relentless pressure, battering and bloodying the exciting standup fighter throughout the contest.
The just-turned 31-year-old earned the lone Performance of the Night bonus for his outstanding showing.
The UFC did award a Fight of the Night, and to the surprise of very few, it went to the featherweight clash between Darren Elkins and Daniel Pineda. Elkins won a unanimous decision, and his first career Fight of the Night bonus, while Pineda announced his retirement in defeat. It was the second time Pineda earned the award in his UFC career. Both fighters go home with an extra $50,000.
AJ Allmendinger shares his emotions after winning the Round of 8 opener at Vegas and being the first driver to lock into the Championship 4.
