BREAKING: Gareth Southgate has left his role as manager of the England national team.
Gareth Southgate has decided to walk away and step down as England manager following defeat to Spain in a tightly-contested Euro 2024 final in Berlin.
The loss, a second successive final defeat in the Euros, raised questions about his future after four tournaments in charge.
Speculation has begun that Southgate will move on before the 2026 World Cup and new candidates are emerging as to who will replace him with former Liverpool boss, Jurgen Klopp, and current Newcastle manager Eddie Howe on the wishlist.
The FA may be looking for a manager with a more attacking philosophy to fully unlock a talented squad and build on the platform created by the current Three Lions boss after he led them from the doldrums of a humiliating Euro 2016 loss to Iceland to consistently competing at the business end of tournaments.
