Gareth Southgate has reportedly decided to stay on as England manager after spending the past week considering his options.
four years ago, as well as the Euro 2020 final last summer, there had been some critics who felt he had benefited from fortunate runs to the latter stages of both tournaments.
England had anything but an easy route to the final in Qatar, however, and gave a strong showing in their quarter-final showdown against reigning champions France despite losing 2-1. Nevertheless, Southgate revealed that he was considering his position as manager afterwards as he felt there was too much negativity surrounding him and he was not sure he had the ‘energy’ to continue., he has spent the past week since England’s defeat to France reflecting on his time in charge and has been speaking with friends and family about his future.He has now decided that he will remain in charge until the end of his current contract, though he is yet to inform the Football Association.
Southgate is said to have felt that the negative spotlight being shone on him could inhibit and impact England’s players and their performances, but he did not feel that was an issue in Qatar and is far more positive about his future in charge of the Three Lions now.More:
