Summary
100% committed, Thomas Tuchel said he wants to stay on through Euro 2028 and believes England still have “an extra level” to reach after the World Cup semi-final defeat.
12% possession between Anthony Gordon’s 55th-minute opener and Lautaro Martínez’s stoppage-time winner underpinned Tuchel’s defense of his tactics, with the manager blaming passivity and loss of control more than his late switch to a back five.
2-1 in Atlanta became a flashpoint because England led before Argentina’s attacking changes turned the game, while Tuchel said fatigue, heat, altitude and a long tournament left his side physically short.
13 flights since the start of the tournament and a tougher route than in past campaigns have helped preserve FA backing for Tuchel, whose contract was extended in February through the home Euro 2028.
