Tuchel Sticks With England Through Euro '28 Despite Real Madrid, Man United Links

Thomas Tuchel has signed a new contract with England that will keep him in charge of the Three Lions through to the end of a quest for European Championship glory in 2028. The new agreement has been confirmed ahead of the 2026-27 UEFA Nations League draw, with the German tactician having snubbed interest from across Europe.

Ex-Chelsea, Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain boss Tuchel took charge of England in January 2025 following a lengthy process to secure his signature. His initial deal was a relatively short one that would see him complete a World Cup cycle.

Faultless progress was made through qualification for the 2026 tournament, with the Three Lions considered one of the favorites to land a global crown on North American soil. Tuchel has been charged with bringing 60 years of international pain to a close for England’s men’s team and has now signed on with the Three Lions until 2028.

Questions have, however, been asked about his future before a first trophy is chased down and a return to domestic coaching had been mooted. The 52-year-old is among those said to have been considered by Manchester United as they prepare to appoint a permanent successor to Ruben Amorim — with Michael Carrick in interim charge of the Red Devils for now.

Tottenham, who have sacked Thomas Frank, are also said to be admirers, while Real Madrid are another heavyweight outfit working under a caretaker coach — with Alvaro Arbeloa taking over from Xabi Alonso. Questions are being asked about whether Pep Guardiola will still be at Manchester City next season and if Luis Enrique will agree fresh terms at PSG.

The English Football Association is aware of those rumours and have moved to ensure that Tuchel remains at their helm heading forward,
