'Unfinished business' - Tuchel committed to England

What the report says

England head coach Thomas Tuchel has said he plans to remain in the role until Euro 2028 and does not expect to leave early, even if major clubs approach him. BBC Sport reports that Tuchel, who took over from Gareth Southgate in 2025, signed an extension in February tying him to the tournament, which will be co-hosted by England.

Tuchel said he had “no intention” of returning to club management before then and noted that his contract does not include a release clause. He added that he wants to see through the England job because there is “unfinished business,” a reference to the team’s recent history at major tournaments.

BBC Sport also linked the comments to wider transfer-market developments, saying Manchester United are in advanced talks with USA men’s coach Mauricio Pochettino as they look to replace Michael Carrick. The report said United would need to trigger a release clause worth about £7m to hire Pochettino. By contrast, Tuchel indicated he is committed to England through the next European Championship.

His remarks come as England continue their Nations League campaign, with two group matches coming up against Croatia and Spain. The comments matter because they clarify England’s coaching outlook and underline Tuchel’s intention to stay with the national team through a major home tournament.
