FA Sets Requirement for Tuchel's England Coaching Staff

With just over a month and a half until Thomas Tuchel takes the reins as England manager, the German coach has time to assemble his coaching staff, but the Football Association has a clear expectation for its composition.

Details: The Telegraph reports that FA executives are requesting that Tuchel include a Black or ethnic minority coach on his staff. This serves to fulfill the FA's commitment to promoting diversity within English football.

Currently, Tuchel's staff only includes assistant coach Anthony Barry. However, Chelsea goalkeeping coach Henrique Hilário is a target. Tuchel's coaching team is expected to be finalized in the coming weeks.

Reminder: Tuchel will assume the England manager role on January 1, 2025. Currently, Lee Carsley is serving as interim head coach.
