THOMAS TUCHEL is hoping to be the man to lead England to World Cup glory in North America.
The Three Lions last won the elite international tournament in 1966, marking the 60th anniversary of the historic triumph this summer.
England are one of the pre-tournament favourites after finishing runners-up to Spain at Euro 2024.
Some of Tuchel’s top stars come into the showpiece in fine form, with captain Harry Kane the leading scorer in Europe and Bukayo Saka and Declan Rice on the brink of the Premier League title with Arsenal.
Ahead of the World Cup, the former Chelsea manager must whittle his provisional 55-man squad down to just 26.
SunSport brings you all the information you need on when you can expect the huge announcement.
