Gary Lineker gives verdict on Gareth Southgate with Pep Guardiola comparison

Gary Lineker was adamant that Gareth Southgate should remain as England manager moving forward - using Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola as an example to argue his point of view.

The Three Lions were knocked out of the 2022 World Cup after losing 2-1 to France in the quarter-finals last Saturday, but it has since been confirmed that Southgate will remain as manager and will lead the Euro 2024 campaign.

Southgate, who has 18 months left on his contract with the FA, had admitted that he needed time to consider whether or not he should stay on. However, a tweet from an FA spokesperson on Sunday (December 18) confirmed that the 52-year-old would be continuing in his role.
