Stepping into his new role with determination, Thomas Tuchel officially began his tenure as England’s head coach on January 1.

The German tactician has wasted no time getting to work, watching multiple Premier League matches and reaching out to players as he prepares for the World Cup qualifiers against Albania and Latvia in March.

Building Connections with Players

Tuchel is already making strides in familiarizing himself with the squad.

With his first matches just around the corner, the former Chelsea boss has been proactive, speaking with players individually to lay the groundwork for a cohesive team.

Notably, Tuchel has prior experience working with England captain Harry Kane during their time together at Bayern Munich, a relationship that could prove vital as he shapes his vision for the team.

Reaching Out to the Next Generation

Determined to tap into the talent of England’s rising stars, Tuchel has been connecting with players from the newer generation.

One such player, Chelsea winger Noni Madueke, recently revealed that he had been contacted by the new head coach.

It’s clear Tuchel is keen to cast a wide net, ensuring no promising talent is overlooked as he finalizes his first squad.

Left-Back Dilemma Looms

One of Tuchel’s first challenges will be addressing the team’s left-back situation.

With Luke Shaw sidelined by a calf injury, Kieran Trippier retired from international duty, and Ben Chilwell struggling for form at Chelsea, the position remains a significant concern.

England scouts have identified 18-year-old Arsenal prospect Myles Lewis-Skelly as a potential solution.

The young left-back has impressed this season, but questions remain about whether the Football Association will fast-track him to the senior squad or allow him to develop further with the Under-21 team before making his debut.
