Gareth Southgate has relinquished his role as the manager of the England football team, suggesting that the squad needs a “fresh start”. An announcement of his resignation was made public by the Football Association on Tuesday morning in the aftermath of England’s loss to Spain in the climax of Euro 2024 on the preceding Sunday evening.
In a heartfelt affirmation, Southgate—a devoted Englishman—expressed how it was the pinnacle of his life to not only represent England on the field, but to also lead the national team. He contributed wholeheartedly to his role and treasured every moment of it.
However, he underlined the necessity for a shift in leadership, signalling a new phase. The Euro 2024 finale in Berlin, against Spain, marked his concluding match as the manager of the England team.
