He has been in charge of the England national team for eight years since taking office in 2016.

England manager Gareth Southgate, who tasted defeat in the finals for the second time in a row after finishing as runner-up in the 2024 UEFA European Football Championship (Euro 2024), has stepped down from his post after eight years.

British media outlet Sky Sports reported on the 16th (local time), “Manager Southgate has stepped down as England manager following the loss to Spain in the Euro 2024 final.”

According to the media, two days after the team lost 1-2 to Spain in the Euro 2024 final, Manager Southgate said, “It is a time for change and the beginning of a new chapter,” adding, “It was the honor of my life and everything to me.”

With this, Manager Southgate, who took office in 2016, will be leaving the England national team after 8 years.

Since taking office, Manager Southgate has achieved good results such as 4th place in the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia and 2nd place in Euro 2020, but has failed to win the championship. Although they

reached the final of Euro 2024, they were criticized for their poor performance despite having world-class players such as Harry Kane (Bayern Munich) and Jude Bellingham (Real Madrid).

Meanwhile, Mark Bullingham, chairman of the Football Association (FA), said, “We will select the next manager as quickly as possible.” Eddie Howe (England), Newcastle manager, and Thomas Tuchel (Germany), former Munich manager, are being mentioned as possible successors to Manager Southgate. 토토사이트
