Gareth Southgate has revealed his family persuaded him to stay on as England boss.
Southgate was on the brink of quitting after the World Cup after admitting the “negativity” around his reign had become overwhelming. But Southgate, talking for the first time since his decision to see out his contract until 2024, admitted his family persuaded him to give it one last shot at winning a major trophy.
“They left Doha saying you've got to give this one more go and try to get this trophy,” Southgate told ITV News.
