Former England manager Gareth Southgate has opened up about his emotional departure from the role, revealing that Adele's 'Someone Like You' provided comfort during his final days.
Meanwhile, Southgate used music to help him through the end of his tenure after deciding he would be leaving the role. The 54-year-old highlighted Adele's Someone Like You as he appeared on BBC Radio 4's Desert Island Discs. Explaining the choice, he said: 'I kept playing it towards the end of the last Euros because I knew I was going to be leaving. “Even if I hear it today, it relates to my relationship with England and their relationship to me and how I feel about it all.
' Southgate added: 'Yeah and they have got to move on and you wish them the best and there are regrets but there are actually memories that were made and there were so many lines within it they really resonate with me.' The Three Lions also reached the semi-finals of the 2018 World Cup in his first major tournament at the helm. However, he is reportedly set to receive a knighthood in the New Year honours list
