Alan Shearer believes Gareth Southgate should remain as England manager for Euro 2024. France became the latest nation to dump the Three Lions out of a major tournament with a 2-1 win on Saturday.
Leading into the World Cup, there were calls from a section of supporters to sack Southgate - England’s most successful manager since Sir Alf Ramsey. A quarter-final finish was viewed by pundits as the bare minimum in Qatar as a meeting with reigning champions France appeared inevitable.
Southgate earned a contract extension until 2024 after guiding the Three Lions to a European final last summer. Despite coming within a penalty shoot-out of ending the 56-year silverware curse, critics still called for his head due to a poor Nations League campaign.
