There was a sense of inevitability that England captain Kane would be the star turn in Tuesday's 3-0 win over the Czech Republic as he celebrated equalling Peter Shilton's record of 125 England caps.
Kane, still irreplaceable at 33, added to his goals tally as England's all-time record scorer, his total of 91 now 38 ahead of Wayne Rooney, who is in second place in the listings with 53 goals in 120 games.
And, with Kane still looking in his prime and fully fit, it now seems only a matter of time before he makes history as the first player to score 100 goals for England.
This alone will have delighted Tuchel, but even more satisfying for the German is that he now presides over an attacking quartet that can pose a threat to any side in world football.
Kane is the peerless spearhead, but Anthony Gordon - on target in the three Nations League games against Spain, the Czech Republic and Croatia before being rested here at Wembley - has moved his game on to another level since joining Barcelona from Newcastle.
Gordon is a creator with burning pace, while on the right flank Bukayo Saka has looked rejuvenated after a World Cup during which he was hampered by an Achilles injury, as he proved with two goals in Croatia.
And, just behind them all, with everything he does stamped with world class, is Jude Bellingham, England's player of the year and the golden future of his country at only 23.
This may be bad news for Chelsea's Cole Palmer, whose withdrawal from England's squad has allowed others to cement their place in front of him, with Nottingham Forest's Morgan Gibbs-White proving his commitment by cutting short a family holiday to join the squad after being excluded initially.
England's front four looks a natural fit, augmented by Chelsea's Morgan Rogers, while Liverpool's 18-year-old Rio Ngumoha will be an international contender for years to come.
If Tuchel can keep his fab four fit and firing, England will be a danger to any opponents.
