New England manager, Thomas Tuchel has come out to explain why he won’t be joining until the start of 2025. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, his delayed start is simply because he wanted to have a clean start and a bit of time to recharge fully, so he can prepare properly for the task ahead.
Tuchel added that he intends to begin his first camp training in March to commence his journey with the English national team.
His words, “It was important for me to narrow it down into a project and not lose the focus, to start in another competition, the Nations League, then go into [World Cup] qualification and the tournament. I wanted to have a clean start and a bit of time to recharge fully, start in January, and start the first camp in March. We will have not a lot of time.”
FA CEO, Mark Bullingham added, “We always said to Lee he would have three camps and we were very clear he’d run the Nations League campaign. When we first spoke to Thomas he wanted to have a singular focus on the World Cup. So it made sense on both sides for him to start on January 1.
When we first spoke to him, we had our timescale, Thomas had his timescale and it just fitted really well. What was so impressive was his singular focus on us and the World Cup and that project. It made sense for it to start on the first of January and made sense for Lee to finish the campaign in the Nations League. So we’re very comfortable where we are and that’s what we’ll be doing.”
WOW.
