Englandās journey to the Euro final, secured with a 2-1 victory over the Netherlands, has sparked optimism and national fervor. The upcoming clash against Spain in Berlin holds immense significance, offering England the chance to secure their first major menās title in 58 years should they prevail.
The Times is reporting that the English FA is eager to retain Gareth Southgateās services beyond Euro 2024, irrespective of the match outcome. Currently, Southgateās contract is due to expire in December, prompting FA chief executive Mark Bullingham to plan fresh discussions with him post-tournament.
The discussions aim to extend Southgateās tenure up to the 2026 World Cup in the United States, Canada, and Mexico, potentially marking his decade-long stint as Englandās manager.
