The English Football Association has reaffirmed its support for head coach, Thomas Tuchel, following England’s 2-1 defeat to Argentina in the FIFA World Cup semi-final on Wednesday.
The loss denied England a place in their first men’s World Cup final since 1966, despite taking an early lead before Argentina scored twice late in the game to book a final against Spain.
Despite criticism of Tuchel’s substitutions during the closing stages of the match, the FA is standing firmly behind the German, who is expected to remain in charge through to UEFA Euro 2028.
Tuchel signed a two-year contract extension in February after taking over as England manager in January 2025 on an initial 18-month mission to lead the Three Lions to World Cup glory. England, alongside Wales, Scotland and the Republic of Ireland, will co-host Euro 2028.
