Thomas Tuchel rules out England exit amid Manchester United managerial vacancy

Thomas Tuchel has ruled out leaving his position as England manager before Euro 2028, revealing that his contract contains no release clause that could allow another club to secure his services.

According to GOAL⁠, the former Chelsea manager confirmed his commitment to England ahead of Thursday’s Nations League meeting with Croatia, despite admitting that he misses the demands of club management.

“There’s no intention [of leaving]. I signed the contract. I want to stay until the Euros. I want to do the Euros. We have unfinished business,” Tuchel said.

The development comes as Manchester United reportedly close in on Mauricio Pochettino as a potential replacement for Michael Carrick. United could reportedly pay around £7 million to release the Argentine from his United States contract.

Tuchel, who guided Chelsea to Champions League glory in 2021, also left open the possibility of remaining in charge beyond Euro 2028, saying: “I am open to everything.”
