Tuchel Begins England Tenure with Albania Match

Thomas Tuchel's appointment as England's manager has sparked mixed reactions as he prepares for his debut against Albania in World Cup qualifiers. While some, including player Morgan Rogers, praise his confident presence and clear goals for the team, others like Harry Redknapp question the choice, suggesting he must win to justify the decision. Tuchel, known for his successful track record with clubs like Chelsea and PSG, aims to leverage his experience to guide England towards World Cup glory next summer. Critics argue that the upcoming qualifiers against weaker teams may not provide adequate challenges for assessing his effectiveness. Nevertheless, there is optimism from figures like Italian player Leonardo Bonucci, who believes Tuchel can instill the winning mentality needed for success. The stakes are high for Tuchel, with the expanded World Cup featuring 48 teams providing a unique opportunity for England to capitalize on their chances.
