An announcement could come as early as today.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Tuchel\u2019s current deal was due to expire after the World Cup. Tuchel one of the names considered by Manchester United, but England boss has agreed to stay on.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>After this extension was confirmed, Tuchel said:\u00a0\u201cI 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.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI 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.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This perhaps gives Man Utd interim boss Michael Carrick a greater chance of landing the job permanently.<\/p>\n<p>He has had a dream start at the Red Devils, earning four wins and a draw to significantly boost his side\u2019s hopes of Champions League qualification.<\/p>\n<p>READ MORE:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.football365.com\/news\/carrick-sackable-offence-manchester-united-manager-running-west-ham-draw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Carrick commits sackable offence with absolutely fine Manchester United draw<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Despite this, a report from Sky Sports journalist Rob Dorsett insists \u2018Carrick is still not the favourite to be the next long-term boss at Old Trafford\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>It is noted that he \u2018may become a frontrunner\u2019 if\/when Man Utd qualify for the Champions League, though it has been made \u2018clear\u2019 that \u2018United are determined to appoint someone who has the strength of character and experience to cope with all that is thrown at you as the main man at Old Trafford\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>It is \u2018felt\u2019 that the \u2018job was too big\u2019 for former boss Ruben Amorim, so they won\u2019t make a similar appointment again.<\/p>\n<p>The report explains:<\/p>\n<p>\u2018That sort of candidate [Amorim] is not on the wanted list this time. If it isn\u2019t Carrick, it is very likely to be one of the biggest names in world football \u2013 assuming United can persuade that man to join.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018The likes of Thomas Tuchel and Carlo Ancelotti have the wow factor, the stellar name, the track record of winning multiple major trophies.
