Thomas Tuchel is not anticipated to attend any Premier League matches for player scouting purposes before officially starting his role as England's head coach on January 1. The German manager recently signed a contract to succeed Gareth Southgate and is not under any pressure from the Football Association (FA) to be present at games or engage in behind-the-scenes activities prior to the new year. In the meantime, Lee Carsley will continue to lead the team in an interim capacity for the upcoming Nations League matches against Greece and the Republic of Ireland. The FA expects Tuchel to be fully prepared and ready to take charge when he begins his tenure in January. Additionally, it has been reported that two members of Chelsea's backroom staff are being considered for roles under Tuchel's management.
