This week, former Chelsea manager Tuchel was unveiled as England's manager which will see Rice play under the German tactician - nearly two years after he pushed for his services at club level. Speaking during his recent press conference, Eberl made a tongue-in-cheek comment about Bayern's ill-fated transfer push.
"It's a good choice for them," the German chief said. "Thomas is an outstanding coach and knows English football very well. Just as a joke, he didn't get Declan Rice here [Bayern], so now he's going to Declan Rice."
The new Three Lions head coach, who will assume his role on January 1, 2025, didn't shy away from the transfer disappointment surrounding Rice, during his time in Bavaria. Tuchel admitted: "It could have been an interesting addition to have a player with his character in the squad.
"He's a good player and went to a good club. He has a profile that I don't think we have in the squad. It could be interesting to have it."
