Thomas Tuchel has outlined an ambitious plan for England as he prepares to take over as head coach in January 2025. His main goal is to end England’s 60-year wait for World Cup success, with the tournament in the USA as his target. Tuchel believes England has a level of performance yet to be reached, describing it as a “sixth gear” that can push the team further than ever before. Although England made significant progress under Gareth Southgate—reaching a World Cup semi-final and two European Championship finals—Tuchel feels there is room for more improvement.
The German tactician highlighted that England’s current squad is well-prepared to go the distance, but insists that pushing the players to their physical and mental limits is key to achieving greatness. With his 18-month contract, Tuchel is laser-focused on fine-tuning the team’s capabilities, ensuring that they can finally lift the World Cup trophy.
