'Unfinished business' - Tuchel committed to England

England head coach Thomas Tuchel says he has "no intention" of leaving the job before Euro 2028 regardless of any offers from major clubs.

Tuchel succeeded Gareth Southgate as England boss in 2025 and signed an extension in February until Euro 2028, which will be co-hosted by England.

Manchester United are in advanced talks with USA men's coach Mauricio Pochettino over replacing Michael Carrick as head coach.

The Red Devils will need to activate a release clause in Pochettino's contract to hire the Argentine, believed to be in the region of around £7m.

But Tuchel says his contract does not include a release clause and he does not intend to leave his role to return to club management.

"I signed the contract, I want to stay until the Euros," he said. "I want to do the Euros. We have unfinished business."

England lost the past two Euros finals under Southgate before Tuchel led the Three Lions to the semi-finals of his first major tournament, this summer's World Cup.

However, the former Bayern Munich, Chelsea and Paris St-Germain boss did say that he would return to club football after seeing out his England contract.

"I miss the 50 matches [a season]," he said.

"I miss the two minutes when everything is done. You go out two minutes before the whistle goes, it's like the best two minutes, everything is done and you're in a full stadium, lights are on and you're just so excited and you're part of it."

England are second in their Nations League group and have two more group games over the coming days.

Tuchel's side host Croatia on Thursday before facing World Cup winners and group leaders Spain in Madrid on Sunday.
