The former Chelsea manager admits he's enjoying his time in charge and offered a wide grin when asked if the results have earned him the right to sing the English national anthem next summer.

“You think it is already there,” asked Tuchel. “I will think about it. Yeah, maybe. Let’s see.”

Meanwhile, on plans for his line-up for their World Cup qualifier against Albania, Tuchel also said: “Some of the guys are pretty tired with their physical input and we will not take risks with any players. Players are used to playing Thursday-Sunday-Wednesday-Saturday. It is not a problem but let’s see, let’s do an assessment.

“We have two training sessions and last time after Andorra there were two or three players who trained their way into the Serbia match with outstanding training performances so the door is open. I haven’t decided yet.”
