The Football Association (FA) officially announced on Thursday that Thomas Tuchel, the German specialist, has extended his contract as the head coach of the England football team until 2028. Tuchel, who took over as head coach in October 2024, initially had his contract set to expire at the end of this year's World Cup tournament. However, the FA's decision to prolong his contract for an additional two years aims to ensure there are no disruptions ahead of the World Cup.

In the FA's statement, they emphasized that this agreement would provide clarity and allow full focus on ensuring the England team's performance during the upcoming World Cup this summer. Additionally, it will ensure continuity in the UEFA Nations League matches that will follow shortly after in September. Under Tuchel's leadership, the England team had an impressive qualifying campaign for the World Cup, winning all eight matches without conceding a single goal, including two convincing wins against Latvia (3-0 and 5-0).

Tuchel expressed his enthusiasm for the role, stating that he has enjoyed every minute spent working with the players. His continued commitment to the national team signals a strong organization and a focused approach as they prepare for significant upcoming challenges in international football. This decision highlights the FA's confidence in Tuchel's capabilities to lead the team towards achieving success on the world stage.
