When asked if he still has the hunger to lead the side into Euro 2028, Tuchel was emphatic in his response. “100 per cent,” the former Chelsea boss told reporters. “There is still enough to improve, and I am more than happy to do that.” Despite the Three Lions surrendering a 1-0 lead against Argentina with just five minutes remaining, the FA remains firmly behind their man ahead of England's third-place playoff clash with France, with chief executive Mark Bullingham confirming on LinkedIn that “Thomas and the coaches will raise everyone for that and then lead us into qualification for our home Euros in 2028.”
