Gareth Southgate’s future as manager remains uncertain after England returned home from the 2024 European Championship.
Gareth Southgate's future as manager was still uncertain when England returned home from the European Championship on Monday. Southgate's contract expires this year, and he has not said if he will lead England into the next World Cup in 2026. The English Football Association is reportedly keen to tie him to a new contract. England lost to Spain in the final of Euro 2024, extending its wait for a first major trophy to at least 60 years after winning the 1966 World Cup.
But Southgate has not been able to end England's decades-long wait for silverware after losing the 2021 Euros final to Italy in a penalty shootout and, on Sunday, suffering defeat after Mikel Oyarzabal's 86th-minute winner. Southgate said before the tournament it would likely be his last if England did not win, and he endured fierce criticism early on in the Euros, when the team's dour play prompted fans to throw plastic beer cups towards him at the end of the 0-0 draw with Slovenia.
