Thomas Tuchel says he wants to remain England manager until Euro 2028, despite possible offers from major clubs. The German coach has a contract extended until the tournament and says he wants to see out his commitment, according to the Ghanaian Times.

Thomas Tuchel, manager of the England football team, said on Wednesday that he had no intention of leaving his post before Euro 2028, even in the event of offers from major clubs. “No release clause” and no intention to leave, he told reporters, according to Reuters.

Tuchel, who took charge of England in 2025 after Gareth Southgate, had initially signed a contract until the 2026 World Cup before extending his contract in February until Euro 2028, to be held on home soil. He nevertheless said he wanted to return to club football after that date, citing his desire to experience the rhythm of a league season again, according to Reuters.

England were due to host Croatia at Wembley on Thursday before travelling to Madrid on Sunday to face world champions Spain. England are second in Group A3 of the Nations League with nine points, three fewer than Spain, according to Reuters.
