Gareth Southgate has become the quiet leader at this World Cup.
Jurgen Klopp, Pep Guardiola and Antonio Conte are three of the most excitable managers on the touchline as they kick every ball and shout and scream instructions. But Southgate has revealed that he has very deliberately taken to stay sitting down in the dug-out rather than constantly be in the technical area by the edge of the pitch.
England boss Southgate said he began taking a different approach after Covid when he used to stand on the touchline to try and motivate the players when there were no fans in the stadium. But Southgate clearly felt it was not very helpful to be constantly barking instructions at players and now lets them get on with the job on the pitch.
