The Three Lions interim boss is preparing for his final matches in charge against Greece and the Republic of Ireland in the Nations League later this month before handing the reins to the German from January 2025 and says that he will hold talks with his successor in the dugout at a later date.

Asked if had spoken to Tuchel, Carsley said: "No.

"I think with the press conference [for Tuchel’s unveiling], it was quite clear in terms of the starting date. It was more of a text message to him which was: ‘Congratulations.’ And he said: ‘Good luck for the window and look forward to meeting up.’

"He is fully respectful that I am in charge at the moment. That is the priority. I do not feel hard done by or shunned. If anything I look forward to hopefully create a situation where we can hand over a healthy squad of players to the new coach."

Tuchel has an impressive winning record at club level and Carsley believes that his trophy-winning experience can only be beneficial for England.

The coach said: "A track record of winning was definitely in the job description.

"The fact we have got that person really helps because there is going to be a stage during the next 18 months where that experience is going to be crucial, in those big moments in the big games.

"I am not saying we did not have that in the past but having that in the locker, that he has done that, definitely helps."
