"After Gareth Southgate departed the role in 2024, following defeat to Spain in the Euro 2024 final, a lengthy recruitment process ended in the appointment of former Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel. He signed an 18-month deal designed to take him until the end of the World Cup this year, but the Three Lions hierarchy have now put a plan in place for after the tournament."
"It has been a pretty successful appointment so far, with the German coach losing just one of his first 10 games in charge, the rest being wins, including a spotless World Cup qualification record, with eight victories out of eight, 22 goals scored and zero conceded. With a start like that, it made England's next move quite simple. Tuchel has now signed a contract extension with England, taking him beyond the World Cup and into Euro 2028."
"It's said that the governing body were keen to remove any potential uncertainty for the squad heading into the tournament by giving Tuchel and England some clarity over the future. That may in part be due to the looming vacancy at Manchester United, who have appointed Michael Carrick until the end of the season and have been linked with Tuchel beyond that. Euro 2028 is set to be co-hosted by England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland, with the semi-finals and final to be held at Wembley Stadium."
Thomas Tuchel signed a contract extension to remain England manager through Euro 2028 after an initial 18-month deal to cover the World Cup. Tuchel lost only one of his first 10 matches in charge and recorded a perfect World Cup qualifying run with eight wins, 22 goals and no goals conceded. The extension was announced ahead of the 2026/27 Nations League draw to remove uncertainty for the squad. The move comes amid links to Manchester United and confirmed hosts for Euro 2028 include England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland, with Wembley to host the semis and final.
