Thomas Tuchel insists he will not leave the England job to take any offer in club football before Euro 2028, amid reports that Mauricio Pochettino is set to leave the United States for Manchester United.
On Wednesday, widespread reports suggested Pochettino – who has been in charge of the USMNT since 2024 – was set to quit his role and join United.
The Red Devils are set to sack Michael Carrick after entering the international break 18th in the Premier League table, the first time they have sat in the relegation zone this far into a season since 1986-87.
And ahead of England facing Croatia and Spain in the Nations League, that impending move led reporters to ask how Tuchel sees his future.
In February, the German penned a two-year contract extension to cover England's home campaign at Euro 2028.
He attracted stern criticism following the Three Lions' World Cup semi-final defeat to Argentina in July, but the Football Association reiterated its commitment to him after the tournament.
Asked if he had a release clause or would push for an exit for the right opportunity, Tuchel said: "There's no release clause, and there's no intention.
"I signed the contract – I want to stay until the Euros. I want to do the Euros. We have unfinished business."
Asked if he could guarantee he would not leave his current job, even if one of Europe's top clubs came calling, Tuchel replied: "Yeah, I would say so."
However, when Euro 2028 is finished, the former Borussia Dortmund, Paris Saint-Germain, Chelsea and Bayern Munich boss intends to return to club football.
"I miss the 50 matches [a year], as I said. I miss those two minutes when everything is done," Tuchel said.
"You go out two minutes before the whistle goes, it's the best two minutes, everything is done, and you're in a full stadium, the lights are on and you're just so excited and you're part of it.
"Those are actually the two minutes where I realise how lucky and how grateful I am, and then the whistle goes and you're just in the tunnel again and you're trying to win the game for your team. And you do that every four days."
Since Tuchel's first game in charge, England have won more games than any other European nation (20), while only Belgium have equalled their 65 goals.
Tuchel’s 20 wins in 26 matches also represents the fastest any Three Lions manager has reached 20 victories.
