Thomas Tuchel has set his sights on ending England’s long-standing World Cup drought. The German tactician, now at the helm of the Three Lions, is determined to clinch the 2026 World Cup trophy in North America.
Tuchel will get a taste of his new squad in action as they embark on their qualification journey with upcoming matches against Albania and Latvia. He’s already laid down the gauntlet for his England players, outlining his expectations well ahead of next summer’s tournament. At a team gathering at St George’s Park this Monday, Tuchel galvanised his squad with an impassioned speech, calling for unity and a ‘brotherhood’ among the team members.
The ex-Chelsea and Bayern Munich manager has made it clear that it’s time for England to reign supreme on the global stage once more.
With England’s solitary World Cup victory dating back to 1966, Tuchel is eager to carve out a new chapter in the nation’s footballing annals.
England’s fresh face Dan Burn revealed: “The manager had a meeting, just saying that we have really only got 24 training days up until the World Cup.
“It is going to be how we are with each other and interact with each other and push each other and not being afraid to speak up if something is not right or something should change.
“I feel that is how we are going have to be if want to have that ultimate aim of winning the World Cup. He said that the goal is to put another star on the jersey.
“And speaking to the lads after everyone was very impressed with how he came across.
“With his vision of what he wanted to do – and you could just see looking around that people were tuned in and really want to buy into that.”
