New England national football team head coach Thomas Tuchel addressed whether forward Harry Kane would remain the captain under his leadership.
Tuchel stated, as reported by Goal:
Everyone knows how I feel about Harry. I fought very hard to bring him to Bayern. He is already on his way to being a legend. But it’s too early to make these decisions [about the captaincy].
