Former England forward hits back at Jamie Carragher's calls for Gareth Southgate to step down

Former England forward Teddy Sheringham believes it is unfair and distracting to suggest that Gareth Southgate should step down as manager after the World Cup regardless of how the team performs in Qatar.

Last week, Jamie Carragher argued that the time would be right for Southgate to move aside following six years in charge.The ex-Liverpool star said it would allow Southgate to go "on his own terms" after displaying “excellence” in the role to date and that he is intelligent enough to realise a “mood shift” in recent months.

But Sheringham, who has been friends with Southgate for two decades, thought those comments were unhelpful as England aim to go all the way in Doha.
