"The 52-year-old had originally signed an 18-month contract up to the end of this summer's World Cup but the FA opened talks over an extension after Tuchel indicated his willingness to continue. Tuchel had only previously managed at club level -- including spells at Paris Saint-Germain, Chelsea and Bayern Munich -- but sources say he has enjoyed the rhythm of international football, partly as it affords him the chance to spend time with his family in Germany in between fixtures."
""I am very happy and proud to extend my time with England," Tuchel said. "It is no secret to anyone that I have loved every minute so far of working with my players and coaches, and I cannot wait to lead them to the World Cup. "It is an incredible opportunity and we are going to do our very best to make the country proud." Sources say the FA were also keen to guard against any uncertainty over Tuchel's position at this summer's World Cup, which he has openly talked up the possibility of winning."
Thomas Tuchel will remain England manager through to Euro 2028 after agreeing a new contract with the Football Association. The 52-year-old had an 18-month deal to the World Cup but opened talks to extend after indicating willingness to continue.

Euro 2028 will be hosted across the UK and Ireland with the semifinals and final at Wembley.
