Thomas Tuchel is set to attend his first Premier League matches this weekend since beginning work as England manager.
The 51-year-old was appointed head coach of the England men’s national team on October 15, succeeding interim coach Lee Carsley.
The German coach began his new role on January 1, and is set to take in his first round of club fixtures starting with Tottenham Hotspur’s home match against Newcastle United on Saturday January 4.
The match at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium will give him the opportunity to see the likes of James Maddison, Dominic Solanke, Anthony Gordon and Lewis Hall in action.
The Football Association (FA) also confirmed some of the names that will make-up England’s new management team with Tuchel being joined by assistant coach Anthony Barry, Henrique Hilario, Nicolas Mayer, and James Melbourne.
Former Chelsea goalkeeping coach Hilario joins having worked with Tuchel during his time in the dugout at Stamford Bridge.
Mayer is a performance coach who has previously worked with Tuchel at Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich, while analyst Melbourne also arrives from Chelsea after spending almost 20 years at the club.
Carsley and his supporting staff have returned to their roles with the under-21 side ahead of this summer’s Under-21 European Championship in Slovakia.
Tuchel’s first game in charge of England will be against Albania on March 21 at Wembley.
