Thomas Tuchel, the newly appointed England head coach, is set to start his duties earlier than expected. Originally scheduled to begin on January 1, the former Chelsea and Bayern Munich manager will represent the Three Lions at the 2026 World Cup qualifying draw in Zurich next week, according to ESPN.
Tuchel, 51, will join a delegation from the Football Association (FA) in Switzerland on December 13, where the European qualifying groups will be confirmed. He is expected to address the media for the first time since his appointment in October, marking an early start to his tenure.
Tuchel’s early involvement highlights his proactive approach to his role as he prepares to lead England into the expanded 48-team World Cup, hosted by the United States, Mexico, and Canada in 2026. England, seeded among the top 12 European teams, will aim for a smooth qualification campaign as they build toward a potential World Cup triumph.
England recently earned promotion back to Nations League A under interim manager Lee Carsley, adding momentum to Tuchel’s task of managing a talented squad and developing a strategy for international success. The former Champions League-winning manager’s presence at the draw reflects his commitment to understanding England’s competition landscape from the outset.
Tuchel’s first competitive matches in charge will take place in March 2024, as England begins their World Cup qualifying campaign. With high expectations surrounding this promising generation of players, Tuchel will aim to lay the groundwork for a deep run in the 2026 World Cup.
Fans and pundits alike are eager to see how the experienced German tactician will shape the national team’s style of play and manage its star-studded roster.
