England FA backs Southgate to stay regardless of Euro final outcome against Spain

The English Football Association is insistent on Gareth Southgate remaining as England’s manager, regardless of the outcome in the upcoming Euro 2024 final against Spain on Sunday. Internal discussions have already taken place to affirm the FA’s total confidence in Southgate’s leadership and vision for the national team.

Before Southgate took the helm, England had qualified for the European Championship nine times, with their best results being quarter-final appearances in 2004 and 2012, and a semi-final appearance in 1996. Under Southgate’s guidance, however, the Three Lions have reached new heights, making it to the final twice, including this year’s tournament.

Southgate has also made history by becoming the first manager to go 13 matches in a row without defeat at the Euros. His leadership has been instrumental in transforming England into a formidable force on the international stage.

The FA’s backing comes as a strong vote of confidence in Southgate’s abilities and achievements, signaling their commitment to continuity and long-term planning for the national team. As England prepares to face Spain in the final, Southgate’s position appears secure, with the FA fully supportive of his role in shaping the future of English football.
