Thomas Tuchel commits to England until Euro 2028 and targets Nations League success

Thomas Tuchel says he intends to remain England manager until at least Euro 2028, insisting he has “unfinished business” with the national team.

The German has rejected speculation about his future and confirmed his contract contains no release clause allowing him to leave before the end of his agreement.

Tuchel acknowledged that he misses the intensity of club management and the regular involvement that comes with working with a team throughout a full season. However, he remains determined to deliver success with England.

“There’s no intention of leaving. I signed the contract. I want to stay until the Euros. I want to do the Euros. We have unfinished business,” Tuchel said.

The England manager also spoke positively about his relationship with the squad and coaching staff, while expressing his appreciation for the support and confidence he receives from the Football Association.

“I love my players. I love my staff and I have bosses who trust me. I know how to appreciate it a lot,” he added.

International managers spend far less time with their players than club bosses, and Tuchel admitted that absence was difficult.

“I miss my players, and I miss my team, and I miss the 50 matches that I’m not involved in a year,” he said.

Despite that, Tuchel said his ambitions remain focused on England and outlined his desire to win both the Nations League and the European Championship.

“But I’m desperate to win the Nations League and to try to win the Euros,” he added.
