Tuchel committed to England until Euro 2028

Thomas Tuchel has no plans to depart his role as England manager prior to the 2028 European Championship, regardless of potential offers from top clubs. Tuchel, who took over from Gareth Southgate in 2025, had an initial contract for 18 months until this year's World Cup in North America. However, he extended his contract in February, ensuring his stay until Euro 2028 on British soil.

Tuchel expressed his determination at a press conference on Wednesday, stating, "No release clause. And there’s no intention. I signed the contract - I want to stay until the Euros. I want to do the Euros. We have unfinished business."

The German's remarks come in the wake of reports suggesting that US national team coach Mauricio Pochettino is set to replace Michael Carrick at Manchester United. Carrick's future is currently uncertain due to the club's poor performance, which has placed them in the relegation zone. Despite this, Tuchel confirmed that he would undoubtedly return to club football following his England tenure.

"I miss the 50 matches (a season), like I said. I miss these two minutes when everything is done," the former Paris St Germain, Chelsea, and Bayern Munich coach remarked. "You go out the two minutes before the whistle goes, it’s like the best two minutes, everything is done and you’re in a full stadium, lights are on and you’re just so excited and you’re part of it."

England are currently second in the Nations League Group A3, with nine points, three behind league leaders Spain. They face Croatia at Wembley later on Thursday before traveling to Madrid to play world champions Spain on Sunday.
