Thomas Tuchel has confirmed he will remain England manager until Euro 2028, insisting he has no intention of leaving the job even if a major club comes calling.

Speaking to reporters on Wednesday, Tuchel revealed his contract with the Football Association contains no release clause and said he was determined to lead the Three Lions at the home European Championship.

"No release clause. And there's no intention. I signed the contract - I want to stay until the Euros. I want to do the Euros. We have unfinished business," Tuchel said.

Asked whether there was zero chance of him departing before the tournament, he replied: "Yeah, I would say so."

Tuchel questioned amid Manchester United speculation

Tuchel was asked about his future amid reports that Mauricio Pochettino had agreed a deal in principle to become Manchester United manager, replacing Michael Carrick. Pochettino, the United States manager, is reported to have a 7 million pound buyout clause in his deal.

Tuchel, who replaced Gareth Southgate in 2025, initially signed an 18-month deal running to this year's World Cup, but agreed an extension in February keeping him in charge until Euro 2028 in the UK and Ireland.

He led England to the semi-finals of this summer's World Cup in the United States, where they were beaten by Argentina.

Club return one day, but England first

Tuchel admitted he still misses club football, but stressed England remained his priority. "I miss my players and I miss my team and I miss the 50 matches that I'm not involved in a year, but I'm desperate to win the Nations League and I'm desperate to play and try to win the Euros," he said.
