Thomas Tuchel leads the Three Lions for the first time as England boss when they battle Albania in 2026 World Cup qualifying action.
A new era of the England national team starts this March international break. Following Gareth Southgate's departure after UEFA Euro 2024 and Lee Carsley's interim stint, the former Chelsea and Bayern Munich boss takes over. Tuchel is the third non-British permanent manager to lead the Three Lions including Sven-Goran Eriksson and Fabio Capello.
He has the experience managing players in the squad like Reece James and Harry Kane at the club level, but Tuchel will be eager to make a strong first impression on England fans.
Here's how England could line up against Albania in the 2026 World Cup qualifying action.
