Tuchel committed to England until Euro 2028

Thomas Tuchel, who took over the England job in 2025 from Gareth Southgate, has declared his firm intention to remain in charge until the 2028 European Championship, regardless of any lucrative offers from top clubs. Initially contracted for 18 months until this year's World Cup in North America, Tuchel extended his stay in February, committing his services until the Euros on home soil.

"No release clause. And there’s no intention," Tuchel told reporters on Wednesday. The German coach's stance comes as Manchester United is reportedly preparing to replace Michael Carrick with Mauricio Pochettino, the US national team coach. Carrick's future is uncertain due to the club's relegation struggle. However, Tuchel hinted that he would return to club football after fulfilling his England obligation.

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