LONDON (ITALPRESS) – “It’s no secret that I’ve loved every moment of this adventure so far. I’m happy and proud to be able to continue,” said England manager Thomas Tuchel after extending his contract until Euro 2028. As BBC Sports reports, with this move, the Football Association (FA) sought to quell any possible rumors regarding the German manager’s future, increasingly linked with Manchester United, and any risk of him being sidelined until the next European Championship, which will be played in the United Kingdom and Ireland.
The former Chelsea manager’s words, following the renewal, are filled with joy and gratitude for an environment, the FA, and the fans, who immediately made him feel “full of energy.” Eight wins out of eight and direct qualification for the World Cup in America were the first encouraging results for the German, who, having succeeded Southgate for nearly a decade, is proving increasingly worthy of such an important role.
“When I was asked to continue in this role, I didn’t hesitate,” said Tuchel, concluding that “Euro 2028 will be a very special tournament, and as a coach, there’s nothing better than competing alongside the best on the biggest stage possible.”
