The Three Lions, England, have made it to the Euro 2024 finals as a part of their coach Southgate’s last dance with the national side. Though the three lions have had better seasons, they have attained major success. Despite receiving immense criticism, Gareth Southgate, England’s stand-in coach, has shown firm determination and has also kept faith in his players, believing that they would deliver someday for sure.
With the England coach staying with the Lions for over 8 years now, his contract is supposed to end after Euro 2024, and as per reports, it was believed that he might be parting ways with the England national team to seek his future in club football.
It was also in the buzz that EPL great Manchester United might also make way for Gareth Southgate by parting ways with Erik ten Hag, who has not had any major success with the club.
Southgate has been one of England’s most successful managers in football history. He led England to the World Cup semi-finals in 2018 and the quarter-finals in 2022.
Southgate also led England to the consecutive Euro finals, becoming the first men’s English manager to do so. Gareth Southgate led England to their first-ever Euro finals to be played on foreign soil in Euro 2024, which is being held in Germany.

The FA has decided that Southgate will stay with the Lions, irrespective of what the results are in the Euro 2024 final. Southgate should receive praise for his success with the national side, and England is ready to give him the respect he deserves. Reports are suggesting that the FA might look to persuade the longtime campaigner to stay with them further up to 2026 and lead them to the next World Cup, to be played in the North American countries of the US, Canada, and Mexico.
However, on Sunday, Southgate and Co. will lead England to a glorious outing in Berlin, which might end England’s 56-year-long trophy drought.
