The former England youth international has previous experience with the national coaching set-up, having coming through the Football Association’s pathway, working as a head coach from the under-15 to under-17 level between 2018 and 2021, also serving as youth development phase lead for the men’s national teams.
Cochrane, 43, will take on the role in addition to his duties with the Bees, having joined the Premier League club in 2022 from his previous role as head of player development and coaching at Manchester United.
The FA said that Cochrane would be the final appointment to Tuchel’s team, which already includes his assistant Anthony Barry, goalkeeping coach Henrique Hilario and performance coach Nicolas Mayer.
Thomas Tuchel has completed his England backroom staff with the appointment of Brentford head of coaching Justin Cochrane.
He also observed the senior set-up and was part of the travelling party for the Under-21 European Championship in 2019.
