Gareth Southgate set to remain as England manager after France World Cup defeat decision

Gareth Southgate will remain as England manager, according to The Telegraph and The Times. He has made his decision off the back of last weekend's World Cup quarter-final defeat to France and is now expected to continue on with his contract until 2024.

The 52-year-old is the country's most successful manager since Sir Alf Ramsey. Having led his side to the semi-finals of Russia 2018 and then the Euro 2020 final held last year, Southgate entered the World Cup under pressure after a poor UEFA Nations League campaign.

England were relegated in that tournament and had stuttered since losing to Italy on penalties last summer at Wembley. Pressure then mounted on the former Middlesbrough manager ahead of the tournament in Qatar but he remains a liked man by the FA and his players, allowing him the leeway to make a decision regarding his own future.
