Gareth Southgate has announced that he has resigned as England coach after eight years. The Football Association had hoped he would extend his contract after he led the team to the Euro 2024 final, but Southgate has decided to seek a new challenge.
"As a proud Englishman, it has been the honor of my life to play for England and to manage England. It meant everything to me and I gave it my all. But it's time for a change and a new chapter. Sunday's final in Berlin against Spain was my last game as England manager ," Southgate said.
The 53-year-old is England's most successful manager in terms of consistent major tournament performance. England also reached the final of the European Championship in 2021, losing to Italy, and a World Cup semi-final in 2018, when they were beaten by Croatia. In his next World Cup, the team was eliminated by France in the quarterfinals.
Newcastle's Eddie Howe, former Brighton and Chelsea manager Graham Potter and former Bayern Munich and Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel are close to the top of the FA's shortlist to succeed Southgate. England's next fixtures are against the Republic of Ireland and Finland in the Nations League in September.
