Gareth Southgate Delays Decision on England Manager Future Until After Euro 2024

ChatGPT

Gareth Southgate has indicated that he will assess his future as England manager after Euro 2024, with his primary focus currently on winning the tournament in Germany this summer.

Under contract with the Football Association until December, Southgate intends to wait until after the Euros to contemplate any potential changes, ensuring a thoughtful decision-making process for both parties.

Aware of the public’s expectations, Southgate acknowledges that a successful campaign in Germany, possibly resulting in England’s first major men’s trophy since 1966, would influence the mood regarding his continuation as manager.

Southgate emphasizes that his immediate priority is to focus on winning the tournament for England, leaving discussions about his future for later. He underscores the importance of delivering strong performances and making decisions that benefit the team’s success.

With 91 games under his belt since taking charge in October 2016, Southgate is set to reach his 100th game if England advances to the quarter-finals of the Euros. Friendly matches against Brazil, Belgium, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Iceland are scheduled ahead of the tournament, providing opportunities to assess players.

Southgate comments on Jordan Henderson’s move to Ajax, noting that playing in a European league facilitates assessment. He also addresses Marcus Rashford’s recent off-field incident and provides insight into promising young talent like Kobbie Mainoo.

As the squad selection approaches, Southgate emphasizes the importance of monitoring players’ performances and behaviors both on and off the pitch before making final decisions.
