Thomas Tuchel’s first - and, if he really is in and out in 18 months, only - year in charge of England ends just as it began against Albania.
His team are in Tirana for their final World Cup qualifier and final match of 2025, with designs on another victory against the side who have surprisingly pipped Serbia to second place in Group K to secure a play-off spot. In March, with Tuchel in the Wembley dugout for the very first time, England saw off the Albanians with a 2-0 win.
