Gareth Southgate has stepped down as England manager after the team's defeat in the Euro 2024 final against Spain. This decision was confirmed on Tuesday. During his tenure, Southgate led England to the semifinals of the 2018 World Cup in Russia, the final of Euro 2020 (held in 2021 due to the pandemic), and the quarterfinals of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. The recent Euro 2024 campaign saw England reach the final in Germany, marking an impressive run for the team.
Under Southgate's leadership, England won a total of eight knockout games, a remarkable feat considering that all other managers of the men's national team in history have only won a combined nine such games. Southgate initially took over as interim manager in September 2016 following Sam Allardyce's dismissal, before being appointed as the permanent manager later that year.
