The 51-year-old German, whose contract officially started on New Year’s Day, will then attend further games across the Premier League weekend alongside his assistant Anthony Barry. The complex in Staffordshire will be Tuchel and his team’s main place of work, and they plan to hold a series of introductory meetings with relevant members of staff across the course of next week. He was included in the squads for Euro 2020 and the 2022 World Cup under Tuchel’s predecessor Sir Gareth Southgate, but did not feature in either tournament.
