Gareth Southgate backs himself to keep England job for World Cup - "I'm the right person"

Southgate, 52, is coming under increasing pressure just two months before the Three Lions kick-off their bid for glory in Qatar against Iran after a disastrous few months which has seen his team suffer a humiliating Nations League relegation.

He was jeered off the San Siro pitch by 4,000 angry England fans after a 1-0 defeat at the hands of Italy on Friday night. But while Southgate admitted this is the lowest point of his six-year reign, he insists he will not be hounded out of his job with the World Cup looming.
