Tuchel Calls for FIFA to Reschedule June Window

England manager Thomas Tuchel has urged FIFA to reschedule the June international window, citing concerns over insufficient rest for players at the season's end. Tuchel emphasized the issue of players having limited downtime before international commitments, further complicated by the Club World Cup occurring in June and July. England captain Harry Kane acknowledged these welfare concerns and suggested that proper management by clubs and coaches could help optimize rest periods. Many club and national team managers share Tuchel's concerns, as the congested football calendar demands quick transitions from European finals to international camps, and potentially to the US for the Club World Cup. The current schedule leaves players with little downtime, highlighting the need for a re-evaluation of the football calendar to prioritize player welfare.
