Thomas Tuchel's initiation as England's head coach was impressively smooth, claiming victories in both games, scoring five goals and conceding none, marking a promising start for the German strategist.

In Monday's 3-0 win over Latvia at Wembley, Thomas Tuchel implemented strategic changes that paid off handsomely. Arsenal's Myles Lewis-Skelly, making his debut, rewarded the coach with a goal against Albania, while Reece James, starting for the first time since 2002, impressed with an exceptional free kick. Sub Eberechi Eze also scored his debut goal for England.

Despite facing modest opposition, England seems poised for World Cup qualification under Tuchel, who praised the team's character and camaraderie, noting the positive energy. Tuchel, who awaits his next camp until June, has left a favorable impression with the squad, according to captain Harry Kane, who lauded his former Chelsea manager for his passion.
