England make decision on Thomas Tuchel’s future after Argentina defeat | OneFootball

England missed out on an opportunity to reach the World Cup final after losing 2-1 to Argentina at the Atlanta Stadium on Wednesday. 

Thomas Tuchel was widely criticised for adopting a defensive approach after Anthony Gordon’s 55th-minute breakthrough. 

Despite their disappointing World Cup exit, the German’s position as England manager is safe. 

According to BBC Sport, Tuchel retains the backing of the Football Association and is expected to lead the team into the 2028 European Championship.

The 52-year-old was appointed in January 2025 on a deal that was scheduled to run until the World Cup. 

He signed a two-year contract extension in February through to Euro 2028. 

England came into the World Cup as one of the favourites, and they lived up to the hype by defeating Croatia 4-2 in their opening game. 

Their subsequent displays against Ghana and Panama were unconvincing, but they improved in the knockout stage. 

After overcoming DR Congo, the Three Lions produced a masterclass at the Aztec Stadium to seal a memorable victory against Mexico. 

Norway was a tricky fixture, but they came through with flying colours. 

England looked on course to reach the World Cup final when Gordon gave them the lead against Argentina. 

However, late goals from Enzo Fernandez and Lautaro Martinez condemned them to a disappointing 2-1 defeat.
