(Video) Thomas Tuchel speaks as England manager for first time; delivers exciting World Cup message | OneFootball

Thomas Tuchel has spoken for the first time since being appointed England manager.

The 51-year-old was pursued by the English FA following Gareth Southgate’s resignation at the end of the summer’s Euros in Germany.

Although Lee Carsley has stepped up from leading the under-21s to take charge on an interim basis, the 50-year-old was always an outsider to take the role permanently.

Carlsey will remain in charge for the Three Lions’ upcoming November Nations League fixtures with Tuchel set to take over from the New Year.
