The Prince of Wales has warmly welcomed England men’s football manager Thomas Tuchel to Windsor Castle to hear about his plans for the Three Lions.
In a personal message posted by Kensington Palace’s social media, the prince wrote: “Exciting times for @England, with a generation of talented players and a new manager taking the reins.
William backed German Tuchel as the Three Lions’ new boss after his appointment as successor to Gareth Southgate was announced in October, telling him: “We’re all behind you!”.
Tuchel and his new-look England squad are looking ahead to the 2026 World Cup qualifying fixtures against Albania on March 21 and Latvia on March 24.
William, patron of the Football Association, received Tuchel at the Berkshire royal residence on Tuesday, alongside FA chief executive Mark Bullingham.
