Tuchel 100% Committed to England Euro 2028 After World Cup Exit 2026

Thomas Tuchel has confirmed he is 100% committed to leading England at Euro 2028 after a devastating World Cup semi-final defeat to Argentina. The manager insists the team can find an extra level to finally secure glory.

Tuchel's Tactical Shift Under Scrutiny

England took a 1-0 lead through Anthony Gordon in the 55th minute, but Tuchel's switch to a back five in the final quarter backfired. Argentina scored two late goals to win 2-1 and advance to the final against Spain. Critics have questioned the tactical decision, but Tuchel defended his approach, blaming the team's passivity after the goal.

What Went Wrong for England?

Tuchel lamented England's inability to control the game with possession. He noted that the players struggled to impose themselves on the ball, a recurring issue he was hired to solve. The Football Association (FA) continues to back the manager, who signed a contract extension in February through Euro 2028.

Key Takeaways from the Semi-Final

• Tuchel's commitment to the England project remains unwavering despite the setback.
• The FA is satisfied with reaching the semi-finals, given a tough draw including Croatia and Ghana.
• England must improve ball control and game management to compete at the highest level.
• Tuchel sees an extra level in training that needs to translate to match days.

Speaking after the match, Tuchel said: “I’ve loved every day of the World Cup. We can impose ourselves more on the ball. That is still in us.” He remains confident that England can step up for Euro 2028.
