After his team lost to Spain 2-1 in the Euro 2024 final, Gareth Southgate was questioned about his future as England’s manager. However, he stated he thought the Three Lions squad was ready for victory.
When questioned about his future following the game, however, the manager told ITV that a choice will be made later, adding, “I don’t think that’s a good time to make a decision like that. I have to talk to the appropriate individuals. Not right now.”
According to reports, the Football Association wants Southgate to stay in charge of the England team even if they lose to Spain. Nonetheless, former England players Gary Lineker and Alan Shearer anticipate the coach’s resignation. The Match of the Day announcer on BBC One stated, “I suspect Gareth Southgate may have had enough.” It’s an intensely demanding job.”
