Thomas Tuchel has confirmed his dedication to coaching England until Euro 2028, following the Three Lions’ exit from the FIFA World Cup 2026 after a 2-1 defeat against Argentina in the semi-final. Anthony Gordon initially put England in the lead during the match in Atlanta, but Enzo Fernandez and Lautaro Martinez secured a 2-1 victory for Argentina.
Tuchel, who started as England head coach on an 18-month contract in January 2025, extended his tenure earlier this year to guide the team through UEFA EURO 2028 in the UK and Ireland. Despite the recent setback, Tuchel expressed his anticipation for the upcoming Euros and emphasized his commitment to the role.
England is set to compete against France in the third-place play-off, while Argentina will face Spain in the final in New Jersey. Tuchel acknowledged the disappointment of missing out on the final, highlighting the team’s determination to recover professionally and maintain a competitive spirit in the face of challenges.
Reflecting on England’s journey to the semi-final, Tuchel recognized the accomplishment of reaching this stage in the World Cup. He emphasized the competitive nature of football and the team’s high expectations, noting that while it is a significant achievement, the focus remains on the next game and future opportunities.
