Lee Carsley believes England will be in a good position to win the next World Cup when Thomas Tuchel takes charge of the national team in the new year.
The Football Association has made no secret of the thinking behind Tuchel’s appointment, handing him an 18-month deal with a clear brief to end the men’s side’s wait for a major trophy. The yearning has grown for England after a series of near misses under Gareth Southgate but Carsley, who widened the talent pool while securing promotion to the top tier of the Nations League during his interim spell, is confident that the squad is capable of triumphing in Canada, Mexico and the USA in 2026.
