Gareth Southgate has announced his resignation as Englandโs manager after eight years on the saddle.
ย Despite being home to the EPL, probably the world most famous league, England has struggled on the global stage with Southgate emerging as its most successful manager in terms of consistent major tournament performance.
Southgate said: โAs a proud Englishman, it has been the honour of my life to play forย Englandย and to manage England,โ Southgate said. โIt has meant everything to me, and I have given it my all. But itโs time for change, and for a new chapter. Sundayโs final in Berlin against Spain was my final game as England manager.โ
โThe squad we took to Germany is full of exciting young talent and they can win the trophy we all dream of,โ Southgate said. โI am so proud of them, and I hope we get behind the players and the team at St Georgeโs Park and the FA who strive every day to improve English football, and understand the power football has to drive positive change.โ
Meanwhile, Newcastleโs Eddie Howe and three former Chelsea managers, Graham Potter, Thomas Tuchel and Mauricio Pochettino, areย the names speculated to be on the list of the FAย to succeed Southgate.ย
