Kane said: “To be honest, I haven’t heard anything specific about it yet. That’s why I can’t really comment on it until it’s officially announced. We’ll have to wait and see what happens,” reports the Mirror.
“I obviously know Thomas very well from the last year. He’s a fantastic coach and a fantastic person. I’m sure the FA will contact me when they know more about this issue.”

England’s record goalscorer wrote on X: “Looking forward to playing under the boss again!”
At his press conference on Wednesday, Tuchel admitted he’d not spoken to Kane before taking the job: “I didn’t speak to no one, we kept the process confidential. I didn’t speak to Harry or Gareth.
“I normally do this to keep my own view. It’s too early to answer these types of questions. But you know how highly I think of Harry and how hard I fought to take him to Bayern Munich.

“We will answer this question latest in March.”
Tuchel will take up the job in January, where he will be tasked with guiding England to the World Cup before attempting to end 60 years of hurt.
