Head coach’s deal was due to finish after World Cup
Tuchel keen to lead team at Euros co-hosted by England
Thomas Tuchel has signed an extension to his England contract that will keep him in charge of the national team until after Euro 2028.
The fresh deal means Tuchel, who took over in January 2025, will remain manager regardless of England’s fate at the World Cup this summer. He originally signed an 18-month deal but will now be at the helm for a home European Championship in two and a half years’ time.
Tuchel is understood to feel that the chance to manage England at a tournament co-hosted with Wales, Scotland and the Republic of Ireland is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. The Football Association was keen to ensure continuity before that event and dampen any speculation linking him with plum club jobs.
