Is it really coming home this time? Manager Thomas Tuchel stunned some fans and players with his squad selection, leaving out the likes of Phil Foden, Cole Palmer, and Trent Alexander-Arnold. Midfielder Jordan Henderson, meanwhile, found a spot ahead of the summer tournament.
"Everything I know about international football tells me that tournaments are won by teams, not individuals," he said. "What we're trying to achieve in the summer can only be achieved as a team."
Tuchel is the 14th coach tasked with the challenge of ending England's trophy drought, which now stretches to 60 years.
After Southgate's departure the English Football Association said it was looking for a candidate to "win a major tournament". That might sound obvious, but even coaches who had won big prizes with club teams such as Bobby Robson, Terry Venables, Eriksson and Capello could not emulate that success with England.
