Former England boss backs ruthless Thomas Tuchel to lead Three Lions to Euro 2028 glory despite more World Cup heartache

Former England caretaker manager Peter Taylor has backed Thomas Tuchel to guide England to victory at Euro 2028. Taylor praised the 53-year-old manager's disciplined approach and honesty with players, citing his early handling of Jude Bellingham as evidence of his strong leadership.

The backing follows England's 7-0 victory against Croatia, as well as a bronze medal finish at the summer World Cup under Tuchel. Meanwhile, England called up Manchester City's Rico Lewis from the Under-21 squad to replace the injured Nico O'Reilly ahead of their upcoming Nations League match against Czechia.
