Overview
- The Football Association confirmed a new contract that keeps Tuchel in charge through Euro 2028, which will be hosted across the UK and Ireland.
- Tuchel welcomed the extension, saying he quickly embraced international management and "didn't hesitate" to continue in what he called a dream job.
- England qualified for the 2026 World Cup with eight wins from eight and no goals conceded, a benchmark the FA cited in backing continuity.
- The early announcement was intended to prevent leadership speculation before the tournament, following media links between Tuchel and Manchester United.
- Plans are set for the summer: a group with Croatia, Ghana and Panama, June friendlies against New Zealand and Costa Rica in Florida, and a training base in Kansas City.
