Bookmakers are now offering a range of betting specials around Thomas Tuchel's time as England manager
Thomas Tuchel has been officially confirmed as the new England manager and bookmakers are now offering specials around his reign in charge of the Three Lions.
Tuchel will take over from interim manager Lee Carsley from January 2025 and the England boss will be looking to bring success to the Three Lions for the first time since 1966.
England sit at fourth favourites at 7/1 to win the 2026 World Cup with Thomas Tuchel brought in to win the country’s first trophy 60 years on from their 1966 World Cup win.
The German manager only has an initial 18-month contract as England boss meaning that as it stands it’ll just be the 2026 World Cup that he takes charge of but a strong showing in the tournament could also see his contract extended to cover the Euro 2028 tournament.
| Thomas Tuchel England Specials | Odds | Probability |
|---|---|---|
| Harry Kane to score the first England goal with Thomas Tuchel as manager | 7/2 | 22.2% |
| England to win World Cup 2026 | 7/1 | 12.5% |
| Thomas Tuchel to leave post as England manager before the 2026 World Cup (11th June 2026) | 10/1 | 9.1% |
| Thomas Tuchel to include Eric Dier in England's final squad for World Cup 2026 | 12/1 | 7.7% |
| Thomas Tuchel to name Jude Bellingham as England's permanent captain before 1st Jan 2025 | 20/1 | 4.8% |
| Thomas Tuchel to win World Cup 2026 & Euro 2028 as England manager | 28/1 | 3.4% |
What the expert says...
Tuchel is 10/1 to leave his post as England manager before the 2026 World Cup
One of the more intriguing prices featured on the odds list for Thomas Tuchel's England reign sees a 10/1 chance given of the German not even managing the Three Lions by the World Cup.
Those odds give an implied probability of 9.1% that Tuchel exits his role as England boss before the World Cup kicks off in June 2026.
It's unlikely that we'll see that happen though unless there's a big meltdown by the Three Lions and they don't qualify for the tournament.

Jude Bellingham is 20/1 to be the next England captain according to latest market
Harry Kane is currently captain of England and he has previously played under Tuchel at Bayern Munich with no signs shown that this will change ahead of him taking over.
Odds are offered for Jude Bellingham to become Thomas Tuchel’s England captain with the betting odds out to 20/1 for the Real Madrid midfielder to be chosen as Tuchel’s leader.
Tuchel may decide to have a new man as his captain going forward to bring a fully fresh start to his management for the Three Lions.
