Eight Year Tenure Comes To An End

Gareth Southgate Resigns as England Manager

Eight-Year Tenure Comes to an End

Gareth Southgate has resigned as England manager after eight years in charge. The decision comes following England's defeat to Spain in the UEFA Nations League. Southgate had been under pressure after a disappointing campaign, with England finishing bottom of their group.

Legacy as England Manager

Southgate will be remembered for his role in transforming the England team. He took over in 2016 after a disastrous Euro 2016 campaign and led them to the semi-finals of the 2018 World Cup - their first since 1990. He also guided them to the final of Euro 2020, their first major final since 1966.

Southgate's legacy will be debated for years to come. Some will argue that he overachieved with a limited squad, while others will point to the team's failure to win a major trophy as a disappointment. However, there is no doubt that he leaves the England team in a better position than when he took over.

Southgate has thanked the players, staff and fans for their support during his time in charge. He has also wished his successor all the best in the future.

The FA will now begin the search for a new England manager. The job is one of the most prestigious in world football and is likely to attract a number of high-profile candidates.

Who will be the next England manager? Only time will tell.
