Tuchel reveals intention to talk to Southgate and Carsley to ask for information about the Three Lions team
Thomas Tuchel, England’s new manager, said after attending the draw for the 2026 World Cup European qualifiers in Switzerland on December 13 that he intended to speak to Gareth Southgate, the former England manager, to find out about the ยูฟ่าเบท team. Southgate is a gentleman. We met before when I was in charge of Chelsea. It was an honour to speak to him and it would not be surprising to meet again.
Tuchel continued that in addition to Southgate, there are plans to speak to Lee Carsley, the England Under-21 manager, who is acting as caretaker manager of the first team while the search for a permanent manager is underway, because we start in January at St George’s Park, the England national team camp, and we hope to meet regularly and regularly. 3
Of course, we have to exchange ideas because I want to hear his views on the selection of players for the games, the overall potential of the team, and his feelings and experiences of the team. Carsley is the Under-21 coach, so we have to work very closely together. There is a lot of time from January onwards.
Tuchel will officially take over as the new manager of the Three Lions on January 1. The European qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup will begin in March next year. England are in Group K with Serbia, Albania, Latvia and Andorra. The winners will automatically qualify for the World Cup.
Tuchel also revealed that he plans to speak to Arsenal defender Ben White about returning to the national team after he abruptly withdrew from the national team during the 2022 World Cup in Qatar and is currently resting with a knee injury. He wants the start of the job to be clean and clear and does not want the players to worry about anything.
