Thomas Tuchel<\/a> has been warned he has already made his first major blunder since becoming England manager.<\/p>\n

Harry Kane<\/a> and Myles Lewis-Skelly<\/a> were on target as England beat Albania 2-0<\/a> in Tuchel’s first game in charge of the Three Lions.<\/p>\n

Ex-Chelsea, Paris Saint-Germain and Borussia Dortmund boss Tuchel was appointed as England’s new manager back in October<\/a> and officially started the role on January 1.<\/p>\n

Tuchel was given an 18-month contract with the sole objective of winning next year’s World Cup<\/a> and end 60 years of hurt for the England men’s team.<\/p>\n

During talks with the FA, an agreement was reached whereby Tuchel has been permitted to regularly return home to Germany during his tenure<\/a>, even if it means missing out on the chance to watch England players in action for their club sides.<\/p>\n

It was reported by The Times<\/a> that Tuchel had missed three Premier League weekends in his first six-and-a-half weeks in the job, while also missing the FA Cup third-round weekend and all four Carabao Cup semi-finals.<\/p>\n

Both Tuchel and the FA have defended the arrangement but ex-England boss Fabio Capello doubts it will prove to be effective.<\/p>\n

‘You have to go and check the players every game,\u2019 he told the Daily Mail<\/a>. \u2018Not on TV. Live.<\/p>\n

‘On TV, you can see one part of the pitch. But when you go to the match, you can see every moment. The ball is one part, but tactics, positions, everything.<\/p>\n

‘You have to see that. I went every Saturday, every Sunday. I saw a lot, a lot, a lot of the games.<\/p>\n

\u2018You have to live in England, absolutely. You have to live the culture, everything. I went to the office, to Wembley, every day, with Franco Baldini. Only the day after the games, Monday, did I stay at home.\u2019<\/p>\n

Tuchel is England’s third foreign manager following Sven-Goran Eriksson and Capello.<\/p>\n

\u2018It is not easy, for sure,\u2019 said Italian Capello. \u2018As an England manager, if you are English, it is easier, because one or two people think, \u201cWhy did we choose a foreign manager?\u201d<\/p>\n

‘But that is for the president of the FA. They choose the manager. If they decided this, they think it is the best way. No one arrives with a gun to their head saying, \u2018You have to choose this\u201d.<\/p>\n

‘They decided, from around the world, \u201cWhat is the best for us in this moment? This manager is the best\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u2018There was Sven, then Fabio and now a German. So you try different mentalities and different styles!\u2019<\/p>\n

Responding to the criticism over his ‘working-from-home’ arrangement, Tuchel said: ‘Since I am on the job I\u2019m based in London, I spend many days in St George’s Park, we watched almost 25 matches live to see every player like at least once in the stadium – a lot of traveling.<\/p>\n

‘From time to time I was in Germany to see my children but the majority of the time I was here in London so I don\u2019t really get the point of the story.’<\/p>\n

The FA added in a statement: ‘Thomas has attended 17 matches – in England and abroad – to watch English players since he joined in January.<\/p>\n

‘He is also working full-time to assess players for his first squad announcement next month.’<\/p>\n

Tuchel’s England return to action on Monday night in another World Cup qualifier<\/a>, this time against Latvia.<\/p>\n
