Gareth Southgate has “consciously shelved” discussions with the Football Association about a new contract because of the fear of a negative reaction from the public before Euro 2024.
Southgate’s existing contract expires at the end of this year but he has paused any fresh discussions with the FA about a deal that would take him to the 2026 World Cup in the United States, Canada and Mexico. The fear from Southgate is that a new deal announced before the Euros could spark a backlash that would distract his players from the forthcoming tournament.
We’ve consciously shelved any discussions internally about what might be next, because I think if we had sat and signed a new contract and done that before the tournament, everybody would have said: ‘Well, you did this with Capello and you should be proving yourself before you sign.’” Fabio Capello signed a new England contract just before the 2010 World Cup, where England played poorly and were eliminated by in the last 16. He resigned in February 2012.
