Thomas Tuchel has made an impressive start to his tenure as England manager by becoming the first coach to win his opening three matches without his team conceding a goal.
The German coach has overseen three victories since taking charge of the Three Lions, providing an early indication of the standards he wants to establish with the national team.
England have combined positive results with defensive discipline during the opening period of Tuchel’s reign.
Softfootball reports that the record represents an encouraging beginning for the former Chelsea and Bayern Munich manager, who was appointed to lead England into another major international cycle.
Tuchel has inherited a squad filled with talented players and is expected to challenge them to perform at the highest level.
The clean-sheet record will particularly please the manager, who has built teams capable of maintaining a strong defensive structure during previous coaching appointments.
However, the early success will also bring greater expectations as England continue their qualification campaign and prepare for future major tournaments.
Tuchel will be aware that maintaining consistency over a longer period will be more important than the record itself.
For England supporters, though, the opening results provide reason for optimism.
The manager will now look to continue improving the team while ensuring the players understand his tactical ideas and remain focused on producing results in competitive fixtures.
