While fans have not been happy with the style of play and have criticised him at times, including the Euro 2024;it has not affected the FA’s stance on him and he will likely sign a contract extension until the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

During Southgate’s reign as England manager, the teamreached the semifinals of the 2018 FIFA World Cup before reaching the Euro 2020 final where they lost to Italy on penalties. He will now have a golden chance to add his first trophy to the cabinet when England faceSpain in the final of the Euro 2024 on Sunday.
If England manageto beat Spain in the final of the Euro 2024, Southgate will become only the second manager in the history of the nation to win a men’s senior trophy. He will join Sir Alf Ramsey who helped England win the 1966 FIFA World Cup.
On the horizon, Southgate became the first England manager to reach two major finals.
