Harry Kane not guaranteed to remain England captain under Thomas Tuchel as new manager makes 'respect' point after reuniting with Bayern Munich striker

Bundesliga

Mainz 05

Bayern Munich

<p>Tuchel is set to be reunited with Kane after being <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/thomas-tuchel-named-england-manager-ex-chelsea-bayern-munich-boss-oversee-bid-2026-world-cup-glory/bltfa32673f01069cf5" target="_blank">confirmed as England's new manager</a> on an 18-month contract. The duo worked together previously at Bayern Munich before <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/thomas-tuchel-to-leave-bayern-munich-bundesliga-part-ways-german-coach-in-summer-xabi-alonso-jurgen-klopp/blt430d3ab11a804d03#csc8857d518619ccab" target="_blank">Tuchel left the Bavarian giants</a> in the summer after a trophyless campaign. Tuchel has admitted he had to work hard to convince Bayern <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/how-thomas-tuchel-infected-bayern-munich-100m-harry-kane-transfer-bid-record-deal-44-goal-striker/bltcd8540d7adbe85e9#cs2a423e092d6029b8" target="_blank">chiefs to splash out on Kane</a> and saw the striker go on to <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-us/lists/harry-kane-defiant-message-four-awards-bayern-munich-opening-bundesliga-account/bltcffaa20bd23320ed" target="_blank">score 44 goals in his debut campaign</a> with the Bundesliga side.</p><p></p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Tuchel is looking forward to working alongside Kane once more but, despite his obvious admiration for the striker, has said he has not yet decided if the striker will be his captain for the national side. Kane was worn the armband since the 2018 World Cup and has led by example for the Three Lions, scoring 68 goals in 101 appearances.</p><p></p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Tuchel offered the following response when asked if Kane would keep the armband. He told reporters: "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]. I want to give the respect to Lee [Carsley] and not interfere [with the next two games]."</p>

WHAT TUCHEL SAID

<p>Meanwhile, Kane has already made sure to welcome Tuchel into his new job. He posted on X: "Looking forward to playing under the boss again!"</p>

KANE WELCOMES TUCHEL

<p>Kane is expected to lead England out once more in November when the Three Lions take on Greece and Ireland in Lee Carsley's final fixtures as interim manager. However, fans will have to wait and see who wears the captain's armband when Tuchel takes charge of the Three Lions in 2025.</p><p></p>
