Southgate resigns
BREAKING
Two days after losing the Euro 2024 final to Spain, England manager Gareth Southgate has told the fans via the Football Association website that he quits from his role after 102 games in charge of the Three Lions team.
Gareth Southgate’s departing words are as follows:
“As a proud Englishman, it has been the honour of my life to play for England and to manage England. It has meant everything to me, and I have given it my all.
“But it’s time for change, and for a new chapter. Sunday’s final in Berlin against Spain was my final game as England manager.”
Southgate is the only manager bar 1966 World Cup winner Sir Alf Ramsey to lead the England men’s team into a major tournament final.
He managed England at four major tournaments, reaching the finals of the Euro 2020 (in 2021) and 2024, and also reaching the World Cup semi-finals in 2018 and quarter-finals in 2022.
