Thomas Tuchel s appointment as England head coach gives the Three Lions the best possible chance of lifting the World Cup in 2026.
That is the view of FA chief executive Mark Bullingham, who believes the former Chelsea and Bayern Munich boss ranks among the world s best coaches.
On Wednesday, Tuchel was confirmed as Gareth Southgate s permanent successor, with the German set to take charge on January 1 after interim boss Lee Carsley oversees England s remaining Nations League fixtures against Greece and the Republic of Ireland.
Pep Guardiola and Mauricio Pochettino had also been linked to the post in recent months, and Bullingham says the FA always intended to appoint a proven winner.
We are thrilled to have hired Thomas Tuchel, one of the best coaches …
Jack Wilshere has returned to full training and Arsene Wenger believes the Arsenal midfielder deserves a spot in England s squad for Euro 2016.
Wilshere has yet to make an official appearance this campaign after suffering a fractured leg in pre-season, but is slowly edging closer to a comeback.
Wenger has vowed to be cautious with the 24-year-old, but expects him to make the European Championship in France, while also claiming Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain should be match fit in time.
Wilshere is back in training. Once he will be completely fit and competitive he will be available for Arsenal and the national team. Why not, Wenger said at a media conference.
I ll be cautious with him now but he will be back fully competitive in a few weeks.

Chelsea have confirmed the signing of Fulham defender Tosin Adarabioyo on a free transfer.
Tosin signed a four-year contract with the Blues, completing his medical earlier this week to become the first signing under new head coach Enzo Maresca.
The centre-back rejected a new contract earlier in this season, and Fulham announced on Tuesday that he would be leaving the club when his contract expires at the end of the month.
Newcastle United and Manchester United were also in the race for his signature, but Tosin, who worked with Maresca at Manchester City in the past, decided on the switch to Chelsea, with the lure of European football supposedly drawing him to the club.
Tosin is a BLUE!

England should not take the risk of starting Everton defender John Stones at Euro 2016, according to Sol Campbell.
The ex-Arsenal and Tottenham stopper was in the England squad for six major tournaments and thinks manager Roy Hodgson should opt for experience at centre-back in the form of Gary Cahill and Chris Smalling.
Campbell feels Stones, 22, is still learning the game and the unforgiving nature of a European Championship would not be the right place for him to make the mistakes that naturally come with a young player s development.
The Barnsley academy graduate struggled to hold down a place in Everton s first team last season after making several high-profile errors, prompting concerns over how he will fare if called upon in France.
I personally w…
Josh Rees returned to haunt his former club as he scored a last-minute equaliser to give Dagenham a 2-2 draw at National League promotion hopefuls Bromley.
Bes Topalloj broke the deadlock after 43 minutes and Michael Cheek doubled the home side’s lead in the fifth minute of first-half stoppage-time.
However, Sam Ling pulled one back for the visitors with 20 minutes remaining and Rees – who enjoyed two stints at the Ravens in 2017/18 and 2019/20 – slammed home a dramatic equaliser after a goalmouth scramble.
The draw leaves second-placed Bromley 19 points behind runaway leaders Chesterfield, with the Daggers still 11th.

Day one of Euro 2016 saw the host nation open the tournament with a win thanks to a memorable goal from Dimitri Payet at the Stade de France.
But with teams arriving all over France for their first matches, there were plenty of talking points and colourful characters to be found
PARIS TRANSFER CHIEF UNMASKED!
After collecting an Omnisport News reporter from the airport, the redoubtable Mahmadou s ears almost pricked up to the roof of his swish Citroen estate when he heard our man was a journalist covering the tournament. You see, the esteemed chauffeur claimed to be part of a management agency that looks after a smattering of footballers, including two France internationals. In between driving taxis, obviously.
Anyway, the players named and ta…
Pep Guardiola says Joao Cancelo could still have a future at Manchester City despite falling out of favour in recent seasons.
The right-back spent the second half of the 2022-23 campaign with Bayern Munich after a falling out with Guardiola over a lack of playing time before being loaned to Barcelona last season.
He originally joined the Citizens in August 2019 in a deal worth £60million, making him the most expensive right-back in history, and his current contract with the club runs until 2027.
At Barcelona, Cancelo led the defenders in chances created (35), crosses (82) and shots (32) in 2023-24, but the Catalan club chose not to bring him back to Camp Nou for a second season.
In 2021-22, the 30-year-old s last full campaign at City, he played the mos…
FIFA s executive committee has agreed to set up a commission to look into moving the timing of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
The tournament has come under scrutiny ever since the host nation was confirmed, amid concerns that the scorching summer temperatures in excess of 40 degrees Celsius will prove unsafe for both players and spectators.
And with calls for the tournament to be moved from its traditional June and July slot to a winter timetable growing pace, the world governing body has now agreed to formally look into a possible switch.
A commission will be drawn from across the major stakeholders including the Qatar 2022 organisers themselves although a decision on any potential change to the calendar will not be made until after the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.

The Bundesliga s Matchday 22 will conclude on Sunday evening with Bayern Munich facing VfL Bochum at the Vonovia Ruhrstadion.
Bochum, currently sitting in 14th place after 21 matches, will host a Bayern side that has faltered recently, slipping five points behind league leaders Bayer Leverkusen and aiming to halt a streak of two consecutive defeats.
VfL Bochum
With all respect to the home side, this fixture presents an excellent opportunity for Bayern boss Thomas Tuchel to uplift spirits within the camp. Bayern secured a 7-0 victory against the same opponents for the second consecutive year in September, which means it s a favorable matchup at this point for the Bavarians.
But from his point of view, Bochum head coach…
