England Confirm Thomas Tuchel as Head Coach Until Euro 2028

The Football Association (FA) has officially confirmed that Thomas Tuchel will remain as England head coach until the end of 2028, including the UEFA Euro 2028 tournament co-hosted by England, Ireland, Scotland, and Wales. The decision secures long-term stability for the Three Lions beyond the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

Tuchel originally took charge of the England national team in January 2025 on a contract that was set to expire after the 2026 World Cup. However, following strong performances and positive internal evaluations, the FA opted to extend his deal to maintain continuity and reinforce the national team’s long-term project.

The 52-year-old German manager has guided England through an impressive World Cup qualification campaign, finishing unbeaten and without conceding a goal in their group. His tactical discipline, defensive organization, and ability to maximize squad depth have strengthened confidence among FA executives and supporters alike.

In its official statement, the FA explained that the contract extension “ensures clarity and full focus for the team ahead of major international tournaments,” removing any uncertainty surrounding the manager’s future during critical competitive windows.

The renewed agreement covers both the 2026 World Cup — hosted by the United States, Mexico, and Canada — and UEFA Euro 2028, a historic tournament that will be staged across multiple UK nations and Ireland. The FA believes maintaining Tuchel at the helm provides a stable foundation to build a competitive squad capable of challenging for major titles.

Tuchel expressed pride and enthusiasm following the announcement, stating that he feels “honored and happy” to continue working with England’s players and to pursue success in upcoming international competitions.

His extension also shuts down speculation about a potential return to club management after the World Cup, as several elite European clubs were reportedly monitoring his availability. By committing long-term, Tuchel has aligned himself fully with England’s ambitions.

With Euro 2028 on home soil and a World Cup campaign approaching, England now moves forward with clear leadership and strategic continuity. The FA’s decision signals confidence that Thomas Tuchel can guide the Three Lions into a new era of sustained international competitiveness.
