This marks Tuchel's first foray into international management after a highly successful club career, which has seen him at the helm of teams like Mainz, Borussia Dortmund, Paris Saint-Germain, Chelsea, and most recently, Bayern Munich. Notably, Tuchel led Chelsea to the UEFA Champions League title in 2021 and Bayern Munich to a Bundesliga title in his first season before his departure this summer. Tuchel's appointment is pivotal for the England national team, which has failed to win a major international trophy in the past three major tournaments. Despite the squad's talent, England has not been able to secure a major international trophy in recent years, and fans are hoping that Tuchel's arrival will inject fresh energy and tactical nous ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Known for his exceptional ability in navigating high-stakes knockout stages, Tuchel's record gives England supporters reason for optimism. His tactical flexibility and ruthless squad selection style could bring a much-needed competitive edge to the national team. The German coach is known for making bold, sometimes unexpected, decisions based on form and suitability to his system, regardless of a player's stature or past performances. One of the most immediate talking points surrounding Tuchel's appointment is the future of several key players in the England squad, including long-standing goalkeeper Jordan Pickford. The 30-year-old Everton shot-stopper has been England's undisputed No. 1 since his impressive performances at the 2018 World Cup under Southgate, earning 71 caps for the national team. However, Pickford's place in the starting lineup is no longer secure. During the recent UEFA Nations League matches under interim manager Lee Carsley, Pickford was dropped in favor of Dean Henderson, following a lackluster display in England's 2-1 defeat to Greece at Wembley. The decision raised questions about whether Pickford will continue to be England's first-choice goalkeeper heading into the next major tournament. Henderson, who started the match against Finland, is now seen as a strong contender for the No. 1 spot, along with Newcastle United's Nick Pope, who has been consistently included in recent squads. Meanwhile, Aaron Ramsdale, who has been in fine form for Southampton, is also vying for a return to the England setup under Tuchel. This means that several high-profile players could find themselves on the fringes if they don't meet Tuchel's standards in the lead-up to the 2026 World Cup starting with Pickford.
