🚨 Big news for the Three Lions fans! England's football boss, Gareth Southgate, is set to leave his position this summer, according to FA chief executive Mark Bullingham. 🦁
With the UEFA Euro 2024 just around the corner in Germany, Southgate, who has been at the helm since 2016, might be gearing up for his final tournament with England. In a candid interview with German newspaper Bild this week, the 53-year-old hinted at his departure, saying he \"probably won't be here\" if England doesn't clinch the Euro 2024 title. 🏆🇩🇪
Southgate's current contract with the Football Association expires in December. While the FA is keen to see him lead the team through the 2026 FIFA World Cup, the Watford-born manager is holding off on extension talks until after the Euros. Talk about keeping us on the edge of our seats! 😬
Rumors had been swirling that Manchester United was eyeing Southgate as a potential replacement for Erik ten Hag. However, the Red Devils confirmed on Tuesday that the Dutchman will be staying at Old Trafford next season. So, it seems Southgate's next move is still up in the air. ⚽❓
As fans, we're left wondering what's next for England's national team. Will Southgate lead us to glory one last time, or is a new era about to begin? Stay tuned, football lovers! 🚀
