Gareth Southgate has decided to stay as England manager following his side’s exit from the 2022 World Cup.
Speculation surrounding Southgate’s position as Three Lions boss has continued to grow since his side’s quarter-final exit at the hands of France. England were tipped by many to go all the way at this winter’s tournament, though Harry Kane’s late missed penalty proved to be costly as Les Bleus progressed to the semi-final where they comfortably beat Morocco – they will now play Argentina in Sunday’s final as they look to retain their crown.
Despite the disappointment, it is now reported by The Telegraph that Southgate has decided he will not be leaving his position. The report adds that the former Middlesbrough manager was intending on leaving his post prior to the World Cup, even if he managed to guide his nation to a first World Cup triumph in 56 years.
