Gareth Southgate is no longer England’s manager

Gareth Southgate made the decision to resign from his position as England coach after eight years and after losing the Euro 2024 final to Spain. It has meant everything to me and I have given it everything. But it is time for a change and for a new chapter. Sunday’s final in Berlin against Spain was my last game as England coach,” Southgate said in a message released by the England team. The team we are taking to Germany (for the European Championship) is full of exciting young talent and they can win the trophy we all dream of. I’m very proud of them, and I hope we get behind the players and the team,” he said. In addition, the 53-year-old coach described the English as “the best fans in the world” and thanked them for their support, despite the criticism he received in recent times. “I look forward to seeing and celebrating how players continue to create more special memories and connect and inspire the nation in ways we know they can. Thank you England, for everything,” he said goodbye. Southgate took the reins of the national team in 2016 and managed to lead the team to the semifinals of the 2018 World Cup in Russia, where they lost to Croatia in extra time. Three years later, they managed to reach the final of Euro 2021, but lost on penalties to Italy.
At the Qatar 2022 World Cup, they reached the quarterfinals, but fell at the hands of France and said goodbye to the competition. On Sunday, they were one step away from glory, after falling to Spain in the final of the Euro 2024 in Germany.Mauricio Pochettino would be one of the candidates to replace SouthgateAccording to the British media Sky Sports, the FA has four coaches in the pipeline to replace Southgate.
