- FA supports Gareth Southgate
- Southgate's current contract expires in December
- He has remained tight-lipped
The England Football Association (FA) is throwing its full support behind Gareth Southgate, making it clear they want him to remain as manager even if England loses the Euro 2024 final against Spain on Sunday.
Internal discussions within the FA have reportedly confirmed their unwavering confidence in Southgate. This comes after he successfully led England to a second consecutive European Championship final.
Southgate’s current contract expires in December, but a decision on his future is expected well before then. Despite recent speculation of his potential resignation, particularly with some fan criticism, the FA believes Southgate’s remarkable achievement – reaching the Euro 2024 final – solidifies his position as the right man for the job.
However, the 53-year-old manager has remained tight-lipped about his future beyond the Euros, adding to the recent uncertainty.
Rumors suggest he might consider returning to club management, regardless of the outcome on Sunday. Notably, Southgate was previously in contention to replace Erik ten Hag at Manchester United, but the Dutchman has since secured a contract extension at Old Trafford.
