The official announcement regarding England national team head coach Thomas Tuchel has been confirmed.
The Operative Information Center-OMM, citing foreign media reports, states that the 52-year-old German specialist has extended his contract with the "Three Lions."
Under the new agreement, Tuchel will remain at the helm of the team until the conclusion of the UEFA European Championship (Euro 2028), which is set to be co-hosted by England, Scotland, Ireland, and Wales.
This decision is based on England's exceptional performance leading up to the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Under Tuchel's guidance, England achieved a 100 percent record in the qualifying round, winning all eight matches to secure a spot in the final stage. The federation leadership has officially confirmed its confidence in the coach by renewing his contract before the start of the tournament to maintain this successful momentum.
England will compete in Group L at the World Cup. Tuchel's squad will face the following opponents to advance to the next stage:
- Croatia
- Ghana
- Panama
Analysts note that the extension of Tuchel's contract will enhance stability within the team and allow players to prepare for the upcoming global tournament with higher motivation. Tuchel, who previously led Chelsea to Champions League glory, was appointed with the goal of securing major silverware for England, and this extension reaffirms the Football Association's commitment to his long-term project. The Euro 2028 tournament will be a significant milestone for the team, as it will be played on home soil across the United Kingdom and Ireland.
