Thomas Tuchel Stays on as England Manager, Inspired by Talented Squad

Thomas Tuchel has officially extended his contract as England manager until Euro 2028, citing the "amazing group of players" at his disposal. Since taking charge in January 2025, Tuchel has led the national team through an impressive qualifying campaign, achieving eight wins in eight matches, and fostering a strong connection with the players.

The 52-year-old expressed that his initial motivation for taking the role was the opportunity to work with the talented squad, many of whom he is familiar with from the Premier League. Despite being new to international management, he quickly adapted and felt a deep commitment to the team.

Tuchel’s contract extension also serves to eliminate any speculation about his future amid rumored links to clubs like Manchester United. He affirmed that his focus remains solely on his role with England, particularly with the European Championships set to take place on home soil.

As he prepares for the challenges of upcoming tournaments, Tuchel remains optimistic about building on the momentum from the successful qualifying phase, aiming to guide England to success on the international stage while navigating the complexities that come with high expectations.
