The English head coach led the team to two Euros finals but has decided to step down after Sunday’s defeat to Spain.
England head coach Gareth Southgate has decided to step down, ending his eight-year spell in charge of the national team.
Southgate has been credited with transforming the fortunes of the underperforming team and has led them to an unparalelled period of tournament performances, notably leading the team to two European Championship finals. However England were once again beaten Euros finalists against Spain on Sunday and Southgate has decided to leave the role.
While the FA have not made any decisions about Southgate’s replacement, former Chelsea head coach Graham Potter is the favourite with bookmakers to take over the role. Newcastle United boss Eddie Howe and Mauricio Pochettino, another former Chelsea manager, have also been forwarded as possible candidates.
