ITV News' Steve Scott sat down with the England manager to discuss Manchester United, the upcoming Euros, and how it feels to have a play written about him.
He might still be one of the bookie’s favourites to be the next“I’m not a big gambling man,” he told me during a recent interview.
Southgate is very accomplished in dealing with leading questions and understands fully that direct answers sometimes lead to unhelpful headlinesSpeaking of the Euros, he said: "Our aim is to win, it's for other people to decide what is success and what is failure. Again, the England boss won’t be drawn, but he clearly admires what Bellingham has achieved abroad, at one of Europe’s biggest clubs, and at such a young age:"I'm always mindful of his age still, you know, he's still a young player, and he doesn't need me putting more pressure on him, he’s coped brilliantly at this point, and we're very fortunate to have him."After all the public statements leading into the tournament, that decision caused a brief but fierce backlash.
He may not be in club management, but Southgate is still at the mercy of his players surviving unscathed in a saturated schedule; a calendar that gets more onerous with every year. Ahead of this summer’s tournament, Southgate has been trying to learn some basic German with the guidance of a phone app, but by his own admission hasn’t quite grasped the language yet."I was just conscious that I didn't take German at school.
