In a shocking turn of events, Gareth Southgate has stepped down from his role as manager of the England national team following their heartbreaking defeat against Spain in the Euro 2024 final.
Southgate’s tenure, which began in 2016, has been marked by significant achievements and a revival of England’s international fortunes. Under his leadership, England reached the semi-finals of the 2018 World Cup, their best performance since 1990.
He also guided the team to the final of Euro 2020, where they narrowly lost to Italy in a dramatic penalty shootout.
Additionally, England reached the Nations League semi-finals in 2019, showcasing their consistency and competitiveness on the global stage.
In an emotional statement, Southgate said: “As a proud Englishman, it has been the honour of my life to play for England and to manage England these years. It has meant everything to me, I’ve given it my all. But it’s time for change, and for a new chapter. I’m leaving my role as manager, the decision is made.”
The news marks the end of an era for English football. Southgate transformed the team into serious contenders on the international stage.
Despite his successes, the recent loss has prompted him to resign, leaving fans and pundits speculating about the future leadership of the team.
With the position now vacant, the burning question remains: Who will be the next coach to lead England?
