According to a report by TNT Sports on Thursday, November 12, 2026, England manager Thomas Tuchel has admitted that he misses the demanding schedule of club football but remains committed to leading the national team into Euro 2028.

The German coach made the revelation ahead of England's UEFA Nations League meeting with Croatia at Wembley Stadium. He acknowledged that managing a club brings a level of regular competition he sometimes misses.

"Yes, definitely, I miss the 50 matches. I miss these two minutes when everything is done," Tuchel replied when asked if he missed club football.

He also admitted that the frequent demands of club management can be difficult, particularly when results are poor. However, he appreciates the working environment he currently enjoys with England.

Tuchel praised the trust between himself, his players, coaching staff and the Football Association. He described the relationship as important to creating a team with shared goals and a clear direction.

The former Chelsea, Paris Saint-Germain, Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund manager also insisted that he has no intention of leaving England before Euro 2028.

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

Tuchel's comments follow England's third-place finish at the 2026 FIFA World Cup. He acknowledged the disappointment of falling short but said he remains determined to achieve success with the national team.

"I love my group of players. I love my staff, and I have bosses who trust me and are happy with the way we do things, so it's a lot," he added.

England are also targeting success in the Nations League, with Tuchel admitting that he is eager to win the competition.

He said he misses the regular matches and daily involvement of club football, but remains focused on his current responsibilities.

His immediate task is Thursday's clash with Croatia, as England continue their Nations League campaign and prepare for Euro 2028.
