Two days after England’s defeat to Spain in the Euro 2024 final, Gareth Southgate announced his resignation as manager of the national team on Tuesday.
“It’s time for change, and for a new chapter. Sunday’s final in Berlin against Spain was my final game as England manager,” he said in a statement.
Southgate took over in 2016 when England’s fortunes were at a low ebb.
In the last four tournaments he led England to three semi-finals and two finals.
Prior to Southgate’s appointment, the Three Lions had reached just three major tournament semi-finals and one final in their history, when they won the 1966 World Cup.
