The English Football Association wants Gareth Southgate to remain in charge of the English national football team until the 2026 World Cup. Southgate's current contract at the head of the "3 Lions" expires in December of this year, but a decision on the future of it is expected to be taken earlier. FA chiefs look set to offer Gareth a new contract regardless of the outcome of Sunday's Euro 2024 final.
Throughout the European, many fans of the English national team have criticized Southgate for the tactics chosen on the green field. This has brought a fear in the public opinion, that this could be the last competition of the English technician under the leadership of the "3 lions". However, it seems that this will not happen.
Southgate himself has not made public his wishes for the future. It is not known if the Englishman wants to take over the leadership of a club, at the end of the European, or if he wants to continue working with the "3 lions". We recall that the coach was one of the alternatives to replace Erik ten Hag at the head of Manchester United. However, the leaders of the "Red Devils" decided to trust the Dutch technician again, at least for the next season.
But who could be the next manager of England, in case Gareth Southgate leaves at the end of the European? Newcastle coach Eddie Howe, Graham Potter and former Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino are among the names to be named.
The good performance against Holland in the semi-final has calmed somewhat the rumors about the departure of Southgate, and the final against Spain will have a lot of weight in the opinion of the fans, for the future of the Englishman. We remind you that the Spaniards are easy favorites to lift the trophy in Berlin.
