Thomas Tuchel reveals England squad, when is his press conference, when do friendlies against Uruguay and Japan take place?
Thomas Tuchel has named his latest England squad ahead of their forthcoming friendlies against Uruguay and Japan.
England are set to play Uruguay and Japan in friendlies at Wembley and ahead of the games, Thomas Tuchel has named his latest England squad. In February of this year it was announced that Thomas Tuchel had signed a new contract to lead the England senior men through to UEFA Euro 2028.
Thomas Tuchel said: “I am very happy and proud to extend my time with England. It is no secret to anyone that I have loved every minute so far of working with my players and coaches, and I cannot wait to lead them to the World Cup. It is an incredible opportunity and we are going to do our very best to make the country proud.
“I have had so much support from Mark, all my colleagues at the FA and from fans wherever I go that I did not hesitate when asked to continue in this dream job. EURO 2028 will be a very special tournament and as a coach there is nothing more you want than to compete with the very best on the biggest possible stage.”
At the time, FA CEO Mark Bullingham said: “I am delighted Thomas has committed to stay with us through to the EUROs in 2028. He was the right person for the job when he joined us for the World Cup campaign, and has only strengthened his reputation across the qualifiers. We know the players are right behind him, and the togetherness within the group is there for all to see.
“There is simply no better candidate available in world football. With his big-game experience, knowledge and passion, he gives the squad the very best chance for success – this summer and with the once-in-a generation EURO being hosted on these shores in two years’ time.
“In Thomas, Anthony and the wider team, we have a perfect blend of English coaching and international expertise. Their full focus remains on doing as well as possible this summer, and by securing them early for 2028, we have taken away the potential distraction of contract renegotiations around the tournament.”
