England Coach, Gareth Southgate has resigned from his position after losing the 2024 finals of the 2024 Euros.
The English team lost the finals 2-1 to Spain. The loss prompted Southgate to resign from his position.
Southgate, 53, has been managing the English side for eight years and managed his country for 102 games. His contract was set to expire later this year.
“As a proud Englishman, it has been the honour of my life to play for England and to manage England. It has meant everything to me, and I have given it my all. But it’s time for change, and for a new chapter,” he said.
The 53-year-old is England’s most successful manager in terms of consistent major tournament performance. England also reached the European Championship final in 2021, losing to Italy, and a World Cup semi-final in 2018, when they were beaten by Croatia. In his other World Cup, the team were eliminated by France in the quarter-finals.
