England, Carsley last as coach before leaving to Tuchel: “I’m finishing doing my duty”

Tomorrow at 6pm, at Wembley, England faces Ireland to defend first place from the attack of Greece, tied with the British on 12 points although with a worse goal difference.

This will also be the last match with the coach Lee Carsley leading from the bench, before handing over to Thomas Tuchel, who will officially take office from 1 January 2025: “As for the future, my priority is to make sure I get the job done” – Carsley said in the conference press – “We have full respect for Ireland and their strengths, so we need to make sure we approach the game appropriately.”

After coming off the bench against Greece, England captain Harry Kane will return to lead the attack: “It’s not the first time I’ve been a substitute for England,” said the Bayern Munich striker. “Since Lee has been in charge, I have only played one match in retirement. I would always like to start every match, I have never held back. We are in a difficult phase of the season. But every time I am called into action, I will always give the best for the team, whether I start from the bench or start, I will always give my best.”
