Thomas Tuchel not expected to scout players in Premier League before 2025
German takes over as England head coach in JanuaryTwo of Chelsea’s backroom staff wanted by Tuchel
Thomas Tuchel is not expected to attend Premier League matches to scout players before he begins his role as England’s head coach on 1 January.
The German, who signed his contract to become Gareth Southgate’s long-term successor last week, is not under pressure from the Football Association to be a visible presence at games or do work behind the scenes before the turn of the year. The FA will keep Lee Carsley in interim charge for next month’s Nations League games against Greece and the Republic of Ireland, with the expectation that Tuchel will hit the ground running in January.
