"We've appointed him with a view to him being our coach for 2028. Every single person has performance conditions in their contract, you wouldn't expect me to go into those."
"I've got them as well, but we're really clear that we want him coaching us in 2028."
"I just don't think that's realistic. When you look at anyone in any business on a fixed-term contract, clearly when you get to the end of that fixed-term contract, they will already be considering their future."
"From our point of view, we felt like we had a world-class coach doing a really good job for us and we wanted him to carry on."
The Football Association extended Thomas Tuchel's contract to the end of the 2028 European Championship. FA chief executive Mark Bullingham said the agreement includes performance conditions but he would not detail them or confirm a post-World Cup break clause. Bullingham rejected suggestions the extension responded to Ruben Amorim's Manchester United sacking. The FA described the move as a way to provide continuity, avoid speculation before and during the World Cup, and acknowledged that fixed-term employees naturally consider their futures as contracts near expiry.
