England coach Thomas Tuchel names Declan Rice as the team’s vice-captain ahead of the World Cup campaign. The appointment is reported as Rice arrives with several other England players at the squad’s base in West Palm Beach. In the run-up to the tournament, Tuchel also addresses the captaincy observed during England’s 1–0 win over New Zealand, when Jude Bellingham wore the armband during the second half. Tuchel plays down the significance of that detail, saying Bellingham captained the side because he was the most experienced international player on the pitch at the time. The discussion is framed around how England’s leadership roles are being managed for the final preparations rather than as a change of long-term captaincy. The reports align on Rice’s vice-captain appointment and the coach’s comments regarding why the armband was worn by Bellingham during the match.
