Thomas Tuchel has reaffirmed his commitment to the England national team by signing a contract extension in February that will keep him in the role through Euro 2028. The agreement locks the former Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain boss into a defined timeframe as he seeks to lead the Three Lions to major tournament success.
Tuchel took charge of England following Gareth Southgate's departure after the Euro 2024 campaign. His appointment came as part of a broader strategic review by the Football Association, which sought to inject fresh impetus into the national team's pursuit of its first major trophy since the 1966 World Cup.
The contract extension through Euro 2028 provides stability for England's football programme during a critical four-year cycle. Under Tuchel's management, the team will compete in World Cup qualifying matches and prepare for the continental championship hosted across Scandinavia and the United Kingdom.
Tuchel has indicated that his focus remains entirely on England duties during this period, with plans to return to club football once his international commitment concludes. His extension demonstrates confidence from both the manager and the FA in their shared objectives for the national team.
