Thomas Tuchel extends his stay as England manager until 2028 and puts Man United rumors to rest


Thomas Tuchel has signed a new contract that will see him remain head coach of the England football team until the end of the 2028 European Championship in Great Britain and Ireland, the Football Association announced on Thursday.

Tuchel was confirmed as Gareth Southgate’s successor in October 2024 and has overseen an unbeaten qualifying run for this year’s World Cup in North America, with England winning all eight group matches under their German boss hgtgdfgdtr18.

“I am very happy and proud to extend my time with England,” said the 52-year-old former Chelsea boss, whose previous deal with the national team only lasted until the end of the 2026 World Cup.

“It is no secret to anyone that I have loved every minute of working with my players and coaches so far, and I can’t wait to lead them to the World Cup.

“It is an incredible opportunity and we will do our utmost to make the country proud.”

The FA said the new agreement with Tuchel would provide “clarity and full focus” on the World Cup.

Tuchel was previously touted as a possible permanent successor to sacked former Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim, even as the English giants have enjoyed an upturn in form under interim boss Michael Carrick.

But by signing a new contract for England, Tuchel appears to have ruled himself out of a move to Old Trafford after the World Cup.
