England’s head coach Thomas Tuchel said he intends to stay with the team till the Euro 2028. Tuchel recently led Three Lions to a third-place finish in the FIFA World Cup 2026 after signing a two-year extension in February. Harry Kane-led team suffered a 2-1 loss against Argentina in the semifinal of the quadrennial tournament.
The German took international management for the first time when he took over the coaching baton from Sir Gareth Southgate.
Tuchel was previously linked to Manchester United. The Red Devils sacked Michael Carrick on Thursday after a horrid start to the season.
“No release clause and there’s no intention,” England boss Tuchel said.
“I signed a contract, I want to stay until the Euros. I want to do the Euros. We have unfinished business.”
Asked whether there was zero chance of him leaving if a big club came in before the Euros, Tuchel said: “I would say so.”
Tuchel said he has backing from Football Association chief executive Mark Bullingham and chief football officer Dan Ashworth.
“That’s what you look for as a coach,” he said. “I love my group of players. I love my staff, and I have bosses who trust me and are happy with the way we do things, so it’s a lot.
“I appreciate it a lot, so it’s in a good place, I’m in a good place, and I love the players. I miss my players, and I miss my team, and I miss the 50 matches that I’m not involved in a year.
“But I’m desperate to win the Nations League and to play and try to win the Euros.”
England will face Croatia in the UEFA Nations League at Wembley Stadium on Thursday.
