Gareth Southgate, the head coach of the England national team, has had quite a journey during Euro 2024. From facing criticism early in the tournament to now preparing for the final against Spain, Southgate has shown resilience and determination.
His success has led senior officials at the English Football Association to prioritize persuading Southgate to stay on as coach until at least the 2026 World Cup. Talks about a new deal are expected to begin after the final against Spain, regardless of the outcome.
While Southgate was previously linked to the Manchester United job, he has proven himself to be one of the best England coaches in history. With players like Harry Kane and Jude Bellingham performing well under his leadership, Southgate has led the team to success in major tournaments.
Despite facing criticism and pressure from the media and fans, Southgate has remained focused on his goal of leading England to victory. The upcoming final against Spain will be a historic moment for the team, as it will be the first time England has played in a major final outside of its own country.
Southgate’s dedication to the team and his ability to inspire his players have been key factors in England’s success. As he looks ahead to the 2026 World Cup, fans and officials are hopeful that he will continue to lead the team to even greater achievements in the future.
