Thomas Tuchel, the new England manager, has enlisted the services of former Chelsea goalkeeper Henrique Hilario and two other coaches to complete his backroom staff.

Tuchel, 51, officially assumed his role with the FA on Thursday, nearly three months after being named as Gareth Southgate's permanent successor.

The German, who is only the third foreign manager in England's history, allowed interim boss Lee Carsley to finish this year's Nations League campaign, which saw the Three Lions top their group and secure promotion. Now, the focus shifts to the World Cup qualifiers, where England will face Serbia, Albania, Latvia, and Andorra.

Tuchel's first match will be a home game against Albania at Wembley on Friday, March 21. Until this week, it was only known that he would be joined in the dugout by assistant manager Anthony Barry.

Barry, a highly-regarded coach, has previously worked with Tuchel at both Chelsea and Bayern Munich, and most recently served under Roberto Martinez for Portugal.

Hilario, who played for Chelsea from 2006 to 2014 before returning as a coach two years later, has been added to Tuchel's backroom staff as a goalkeeper coach, alongside Nicolas Mayer and James Melbourne.

Mayer, a French performance coach, first collaborated with Tuchel at Paris Saint-Germain before reuniting at Bayern. Melbourne, on the other hand, has been Chelsea's chief analyst for the past decade, having joined the club 20 years ago.

England's football management has confirmed that further coaching appointments are in the pipeline, with Carsley and his team set to resume their duties within the under-21s setup.

Meanwhile, new manager Tuchel is geared up for a series of Premier League spectacles ahead of the March qualifiers, which includes a landmark clash with Latvia.

Tuchel is poised to personally scout players at the upcoming Tottenham vs Newcastle match, starting at 12:30 on Saturday. In a lighthearted comment to Sky Sports, the London-based Tuchel quipped, "I will not tell you my address! Otherwise you'll be in front of my house every week! I like you but not so much! ".

Further demonstrating his commitment, he added, "Of course we will be very regularly in St George's Park [the FA's national football centre] because this is where our base is and this is where we want to create an atmosphere and this is where we are happy to engage with all the people who work for the FA. We want to interact with them, we want to use quality and feel the place."

Setting his sights beyond, Tuchel said, "We will watch a lot of matches starting in January. I want to see the matches live, I will speak to the players - but also not interfere too much because they are players of the clubs and should focus on that. You will see us in stadiums a lot from January onwards."
