Ex-Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel is embracing the task at hand as new England boss ahead of the 2026 World Cup.

Thomas Tuchel has officially begun as England national team coach on an 18-month contract that runs until the end of the 2026 World Cup.

The ex-Chelsea boss will now aim to end England's 60-year wait for a major trophy after coming close in recent years.

England have been drawn in World Cup qualifying alongside Serbia, Albania, Latvia and Andorra.

Following the draw he said: "I have huge respect for Serbia and Albania. They can always surprise.

"England have never played Latvia so this is a new experience for all of us, and then of course we have Andorra where we are huge favourites.

"But we have to qualify, this is the most important thing, this is where all the focus goes. There cannot be any other approach but to take it seriously, take it with respect and make it happen before we can bring the dream.

Tuchel's first game in charge will be against Albania on March 21.
