THOMAS Tuchel has named his first squad as England manager.
He is the England manager and announced his first Three Lions squad on March 14, 2025.
Becoming the England manager
Tuchel was announced as the head coach of the England national team on October 16, 2024.
He brought some of his former staff with him, including his Chelsea assistant coach Anthony Barry and his Chelsea goalkeeping coach Hilario.
It is hoped that Thomas’ distinctive training style – renowned for its innovative and analytical methods – will help push the England team further, after they came second at the Euros in 2024.
Tuchel’s first England squad
Tuchel announced his first England squad for the 2026 World Cup with a double-header at Wembley against Albania and Latvia on Friday, 21 and Monday, 24 March (both 7.45pm GMT kick-offs).
Marcus Rashford and Jordan Henderson returned to the Three Lions set-up for the matches.
Rashford earned an England recall after a year out following his loan move from Manchester United to Aston Villa.
He has not scored for his new side yet but has started four games since his January switch.
Tuchel also made a bold move in bringing 34-year-old Jordan Henderson back into the fold.
The former Liverpool captain, now with Dutch side Ajax, has not played for the Three Lions since November 2023.
Uncapped Arsenal 18-year-old Myles Lewis-Skelly earned his first call-up.
