Thomas Tuchel renews as England coach until EURO 2028

The German coach extends his relationship after a successful campaign towards the World Cup

Thomas Tuchel has decided to extend his contract as coach of the England national team, securing his position until the next EURO 2028 which will take place in the United Kingdom and Ireland. Tuchel, who has led the Three Lions to a historic qualification for the 2026 World Cup, is satisfied with the team's progress and is ready to take on new challenges.

In their recent qualifying campaign, England showed an exceptional performance, remaining unbeaten and scoring an impressive total of 20 goals, without conceding any. This success further cements the team's position among the top five in the world, a status they have maintained for more than seven years. Tuchel's continuity also extends to his coaching staff, including Anthony Barry, Henrique Hilário, Nico Mayer and James Melbourne, who have all signed contracts that align with his new deal.

“I am very happy and proud to extend my time with England. I have enjoyed every minute working with my players and the coaching staff. I am looking forward to taking them to the World Cup,” said the German coach. His commitment reflects not only his enthusiasm, but also the confidence he has in his team's potential to make the country proud on the international stage.

Mark Bullingham, chief executive of the Football Association (FA), expressed his delight at Tuchel's renewal. “He was the ideal person for this position and since his arrival he has reaffirmed his reputation. His relationship with the players is solid and the cohesion of the group is evident,” he commented. Bullingham stressed that there is no better candidate in world football who can offer the same opportunity for success, both next summer and at EURO 2028.
