Gareth Southgate steps down as England manager after 102 games in charge and two runners-up finishes at the European Championships.
Gareth Southgate has announced that he has stepped down as England manager after almost eight years and 102 games in charge.
The 53-year-old leaves his post after becoming the first manager in history to lose back-to-back European Championship finals, as the Three Lions went down 2-1 to Spain in Sunday’s Euro 2024 showpiece in Berlin.
Southgate – who said before the tournament that he would likely leave his post if England under-performed at the Championships – also led his nation to a runners-up finish at the delayed Euro 2020 tournament, as Italy prevailed on penalties at Wembley.
