England manager Thomas Tuchel has become the first manager in the history of the Three Lions to win his first five games in charge without conceding a single goal. This was reported by Opta statistics portal on the X social network. The numbers don't lie: five matches in a row - five consecutive clean sheets and maximum points.
As you know, 52-year-old Tuchel began his career in the England national team in January 2025. Under his leadership, the team played five matches in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers, playing against Albania, Latvia, Serbia and twice against Andorra. The total score in these matches is 13:0 - iron discipline in defense, and reliable conversion in attack.
These results indicate tactical determination and perfect control of the field geometry at the beginning of a new cycle for the Three Lions. The pressure from the wings, the balance in the center and the effective use of set pieces “cleaned up” this series. As a result, the opponents were left with almost no chance to score.
It should be recalled that Tuchel also led the England national team in a friendly match against Senegal on June 10, 2025. Then the English lost 1:3. This test also became a valuable lesson for the staff, which “locked” the defensive line and the transit game even more tightly in subsequent official matches.
The conclusion is clear: five matches in the European qualifiers - five wins and zero goals conceded. For Thomas Tuchel, this record is a starting point, and for England it is an unwavering signal before a long marathon: high pace, cleanliness and a culture of score control are working. Now the rest of the road is to maintain stability and prepare for the big stage.
