Thomas Tuchel says he will stay in charge of England until Euro 2028 and will not walk away early, even if a major club makes an approach.
Tuchel commits to England stay
Tuchel said there is no release clause in the contract he signed in February and that he wants to remain with England until the end of Euro 2028. Asked whether a big club could tempt him away before then, he replied: "Yes, that's right."
His comments came as Mauricio Pochettino has reached a preliminary agreement to replace Michael Carrick at Manchester United, with Carrick likely to be dismissed in the coming days. The United States coach has a £7 million release clause in his own deal.
Tuchel led England to the World Cup semi-finals in the United States this summer, where they lost to Argentina. Since then, England have won three of their four Nations League matches, including a 7-0 victory over Croatia.
Club football may come next
Tuchel also said he expects to return to club management after his time with England ends. He has previously managed Chelsea, Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain, and said he misses the 50 games a season that come with club football and the atmosphere before kick-off at packed stadiums.
He also said the FA could bid to stage the Nations League finals in England. England are second in Group C, three points behind Spain and six ahead of Croatia, and are well placed to reach next summer's finals.
