Southgate
continues to coach the England national team until the 2026 World Cup in the US, Canada and Mexico. Southgate, whose current contract expires in December this year, wants to delay talks on an extension until after next year's Euros.
Sources close to the matter told ESPN that the English FA is very satisfied with Southgate's coaching performance and hopes that he will continue to lead the Three Lions in future international competitions. If Southgate stays on until the 2026 World Cup, he will become one of the longest-serving managers in the history of the England national team, when he will have completed 10 years, having succeeded Allardyce as England manager in 2016.
Southgate has led the team to remarkable success during his time in charge of England. He led the team to the semi-finals of the 2018 World Cup and the finals of Euro 2020, demonstrating England's competitiveness and strength in international tournaments. His tactical philosophy and management style have also been widely recognized by players and fans.
The FA's decision shows their trust and support for Southgate, and hopefully he will continue to lead England to greater success in future competitions. Southgate's retention will also provide stability to the squad and help the younger players gain experience on the international stage.
Despite Southgate's desire to delay contract extension talks until after the Euros, the FA are confident in his future and are willing to provide him with additional support and resources to ensure that the squad continues to be competitive in future competitions.
Fans have also recognized Southgate's coaching performance and hope that he will continue to lead England to brilliant results on the international stage. With the Euro Cup approaching, Southgate and his team will do their best to achieve good results in this important tournament, laying a solid foundation for contract renewal negotiations.
Regardless of the final result, Southgate's coaching has left a deep mark on English soccer. Fans will continue to keep an eye on him in the coming matches and expect him to lead the Three Lions to glory.
