Lee Carsley, who will return to the England Under-21 position, will be replaced by the 51-year-old German on January 1st for the 2026 World Cup qualifying matches.
There hasn’t been much time to process the news because the move happened so swiftly, and it makes sense that England supporters have a lot of questions.
Sport attempts to address some of them.
In contrast to many other managers, Tuchel does not have a preferred or preferred formation.
At Chelsea, Kai Havertz frequently played in a false nine position, and Tuchel typically used a back three with wing-backs Reece James and Ben Chilwell when healthy.
Borussia Dortmund occasionally used a three-man defense as well, but they typically used a back four, which is the formation he mostly used at Mainz, Paris St. Germain, and Bayern Munich.
With Neymar, Kylian Mbappe, Angel di Maria, Edinson Cavani, and Mauro Icardi on his squad, he was accustomed to attempting to fit multiple attacking stars into one squad while serving as PSG’s manager.
He played a 4-2-3-1 with three players behind England star Harry Kane for Bayern last season.
