Sky Sports News senior reporter Rob Dorsett assesses whether incoming England boss Thomas Tuchel will build on the foundations outgoing interim boss Lee Carsley has left.
Away from the media spotlight and once the fans had all left the stadium, Lee Carsley popped pitchside at Wembley after the emphatic 5-0 win over Republic of Ireland to have some quiet photos taken with his family as the ground staff mowed the grass at the home of football. Carsley wanted to record his special moment as the man at the very top of the English game. That speaks volumes about the sort of man he is - proud, private and for whom family comes first.
That is because, if England are placed into a group with four teams in December's World Cup draw, then they will now play friendly matches during the March internationals, and their qualification campaign won't start until next autumn. That means Tuchel will have less than nine months of competitive matches to prepare England for a tilt at the World Cup in the US, Canada and Mexico.
