Thomas Tuchel makes decision on England future beyond World Cup as Man Utd watch on

Thomas Tuchel is set to extend his contract as England manager until 2028, despite interest from Manchester United in hiring him as their next permanent boss.

Thomas Tuchel is anticipated to confirm his commitment to the England national team by signing a new contract that will keep him in charge until 2028. His current deal is set to expire following the upcoming World Cup, but reports suggest that both the England Football Association (FA) and Tuchel have agreed on a contract extension. It is expected that an official announcement will come before the draw for the next Nations League campaign, underscoring the FA's confidence in Tuchel’s leadership and the success he has brought to the team during his tenure.

The 52-year-old manager, who previously led Chelsea, has built a solid reputation during his time with the England team. As England is poised to co-host the European Championship in 2028 alongside Wales, Scotland, and the Republic of Ireland, Tuchel’s continued presence is seen as beneficial for the players and the nation’s ambitions. His proposed extension would ensure that he remains at the helm during a time that is important for England to perform on a major international stage at home.

Manchester United, meanwhile, is reportedly keeping a close watch on Tuchel’s situation. The club’s management has previously held discussions with him in 2024 regarding their coaching vacancy. With Tuchel gaining recognition for his work as an international manager, United's interest adds an intriguing dynamic to his contract negotiations with the FA. However, with an extension on the horizon, it appears that Tuchel is committed to leading England through this critical phase of its footballing journey.
