Indeed, Carsley said this week they England needed ‘a world-class coach who has won trophies’.

The fact he knows English football from his time with Chelsea, and worked with captain Harry Kane at Bayern Munich is an obvious bonus.

If the FA move forward with Tuchel, the fact he is effectively on gardening leave after leaving his previous job with Bayern Munich could cause financial complications.

Tuchel wants to return to work and views the England job as an attractive proposition.

Carsley is expected to remain in interim charge, as has always been the plan, for the November fixtures versus Greece and Republic of Ireland.
