Thomas Tuchel will mark the official start of his England reign as he watches Tottenham take on Newcastle in the Premier League on Saturday. Tuchel was named Gareth Southgate’s permanent replacement in October, but the German only began his tenure on New Year’s Day. The former Chelsea and Bayern Munich boss will attend the match at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium to check fitness Tottenham stars James Maddison and Newcastle trio Dominic Solanke, Anthony Gordon and Lewis Hall.

Tuchel will then appear in further matches throughout the Premier League weekend alongside his assistant Anthony Barry as he begins to prepare for England’s World Cup qualifying campaign.

The 51-year-old and his coaching staff will visit England’s St George’s Park training base for the first time next week to hold a series of introductory meetings with members of the staff.

Tuchel plans to meet with England Under-21 coach Lee Carsley, who managed the senior side on an interim basis throughout the Nations League campaign earlier this season.

The Football Association confirmed on Thursday that Tuchel’s goalkeeping coach will be Henrique Hilario, who has held the same position at Chelsea since 2016.

Nicolas Mayer, who worked with Tuchel at Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich, will be his performance coach, while analyst James Melbourne is also part of the German’s backroom group.

Tuchel’s first matches in charge will be the World Cup qualifiers at Wembley against Albania on March 21 and Latvia on March 24.

England’s opponents in Group K also include Serbia and Andorra.

Tuchel will attempt to lead England to their first major trophy since the 1966 World Cup after Southgate twice led them to second place in the European Championship, including a final defeat to Spain in July.
