Thomas Tuchel officially begins his role as England's head coach, becoming only the third non-British permanent manager. He succeeds Gareth Southgate, who led the team to significant achievements, including reaching the semi-finals of the 2018 World Cup and losing in the finals of the Euros in 2021 and 2024. Tuchel's immediate task is to qualify and lead England to victory in the upcoming 2026 World Cup, starting with home fixtures against Albania and Latvia. His coaching career has been notable, including success with Chelsea, where he won the Champions League.
"Under Gareth Southgate, England reached semi-finals in both the 2018 World Cup and the 2021 and 2024 Euros final, raising expectations for Tuchel to deliver results."
"Tuchel's initial brief is clear but challenging: qualify for and win the 2026 World Cup, starting with home qualifiers against Albania and Latvia."
