Looks like he's staying on beyond the World Cup.
Makes sense given we're hosting the next Euros in 28 and there's very little else out there in terms of options. Also stops a few months of speculation about his future going into this year's tournament.

I really like the bloke. Very glad we have him in charge. Love how he gets that a team is the sum of its parts and manages the egos

Out in the qualifiers. Face superimposed onto some Sauerkraut. Lump on.

Pending the WC performance, good!
After a shaky start, qualification was effortless, Pickford’s record sublime and a good example of how not to make mistakes. But most impressively, he stood-up to worldwide fanboy pin-up Big Balls Bellingham, dropped him, and we look miles better for it. Not saying Jude should never feature again of course, but to be encouraged to focus upon what matters most; opposed to how he’s trending, how many followers/hits he has, or standing stupidly while looking menacingly in adverts (sporting the latest overpriced Adidas boots or a bottle of Lucozade). Despite that overhead shinned effort in the last tourno (and since), he’s been largely gash for England, and fair play to TT for taking action on that; when so many previous managers simply wouldn’t have.
I hope, in Tuchel, we finally have a man who doesn’t simply revert to favourites. Let’s see how he fares in a tournament environment - some are naturals, others aren’t. We will find out soon enough.

Rogers just about edges that duel, for me. Always turns up. Great to have that pedigree of competition, whomever plays, though.
