England Boss Thomas Tuchel: Ahead of England’s interim head coach Lee Carsley’s final window as custodian of the national team before the arrival of Thomas Tuchel, the Englishman has revealed he has not spoken to the new manager of the team.

“No. I think with the press conference [for Tuchel’s unveiling], it was quite clear in terms of the starting date. It was more of a text message to him which was: ‘Congratulations.’ And he said: ‘Good luck for the window and look forward to meeting up.’ He is fully respectful that I am in charge at the moment. That is the priority. I do not feel hard done by or shunned. If anything I look forward to hopefully create a situation where we can hand over a healthy squad of players to the new coach,” said Carley in the press conference.

The Football Association (FA) have announced UEFA Champions League winner Thomas Tuchel as their new England senior men’s head coach on Wednesday. He will be assisted by internationally renowned English coach Anthony Barry.
