Coach Gareth Southgate has led England to the finals of two consecutive Euro Championships. But his team could not win the championship. Taking responsibility for the failure and saying that the national team needs a fresh start, he resigned as coach.

In his resignation letter, 53-year-old Southgate said, “As an Englishman, being able to play and coach England is the best honor of my life.” It is above all to me and I have tried my best to fulfill the responsibility. Now the team needs to change and start a new chapter.

England Football Association chief executive Mark Bullingham has accepted the resignation of England coach Southgate and announced the appointment of a new coach soon. It is natural to have a lot of speculation about the new coach. However, we do not want to comment on it until the recruitment process is completed.

In his football career, Southgate played in defender and midfielder positions. He scored 2 goals in 57 matches in the national jersey in nine years. After the England U-21 team, he took charge of the England national team in 2016. England played 102 matches under him. In 2018, he took the team to the semi-finals of the World Cup in Russia. England played in the quarter-finals in Qatar. After 2021, Harry Kane lost this year’s Euro final under him.
