On Sunday night, Southgate’s time in charge of the Three Lions suffered another bitter blow after England were beaten by Spain in the final of Euro 2024.
Goals from Athletic Bilbao’s Nico Williams and Real Sociedad star Mikel Oyarzabal did the job as La Roja came away 2-1 winners.
After the match, during Southgate’s post-match interview, former Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger was spotted in the background.

“But it’s time for change, and for a new chapter. Sunday’s final in Berlin against Spain was my final game as England manager.”
Southgate continued: “I have had the privilege of leading a large group of players in 102 games. Every one of them has been proud to wear the three lions on their shirts, and they have been a credit to their country in so many ways.
“I look forward to watching and celebrating as the players go on to create more special memories and to connect and inspire the nation as we know they can. Thank you, England – for everything.”
The likes of Eddie Howe, Jurgen Klopp, Frank Lampard, Thomas Tuchel, Mauricio Pochettino and Graham Potter have all been linked with the England job.
