England head coach Thomas Tuchel, has ruled out an early return to club management, insisting he is committed to leading the Three Lions until the 2028 European Championship.\n<\/p>\n
Tuchel, who succeeded Gareth Southgate as England manager in 2025, signed a contract extension in February that will keep him in charge until Euro 2028, which will be co-hosted by England.\n<\/p>\n
The former Chelsea, Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain manager said he had no intention of leaving the national team despite potential offers from major European clubs.\n<\/p>\n
As reported by BBC Sport on Thursday, the German was quoted as saying, \u201cI signed the contract, I want to stay until the Euros. I want to do the Euros. We have unfinished business.\u201d<\/p>\n
His comments come amid reports that Manchester United are in advanced talks with United States men\u2019s national team coach Mauricio Pochettino over replacing Michael Carrick as head coach.<\/p>\n
United would reportedly need to activate a release clause in Pochettino\u2019s contract, believed to be worth around \u00a37 million, to secure his services.\n<\/p>\n
However, Tuchel said his own contract does not contain a release clause, further emphasising his determination to remain in charge of England until the end of his agreement.<\/p>\n
Although committed to the national team, the German admitted that he misses certain aspects of club football, particularly the frequency of matches and the atmosphere of competing in front of packed stadiums. <\/p>\n
\u201cI miss the 50 matches [a season],\u201d he said.\n<\/p>\n
\u201cI miss the two minutes when everything is done. You go out two minutes before the whistle goes, it\u2019s like the best two minutes, everything is done and you\u2019re in a full stadium, lights are on and you\u2019re just so excited and you\u2019re part of it.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
Tuchel led England to the semi-finals of the 2026 FIFA World Cup in his first major tournament as manager, following the team\u2019s consecutive European Championship final defeats under Southgate.\n<\/p>\n
The former Bayern Munich and Chelsea boss believes there is still work to be done with the national team before he considers another challenge in club management.\n<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, England are preparing for two important Nations League fixtures as they look to improve their position in the group.\n<\/p>\n
Tuchel\u2019s side will host Croatia on Thursday before travelling to Madrid to face reigning World Cup champions and group leaders Spain on Sunday.<\/p>\n
