JAKARTA - Gareth Southgate will remain coach of the England national team despite failing to get the Three Lions past the 2022 World Cup quarter-finals. This was stated by the English Football Association. This certainty also answered the 52-year-old coach's anxiety, who last week said it would take time before making a decision on his future. However, he has now been confirmed to remain in his position until the 2024 European Cup with a contract period until December 2024. "We are proud to confirm that Gareth Southgate will stay as coach of the England national team and will lead our journey at Euro 2024," said FA Chief Executive Mark Bullingham as quoted by AFP via Antara, Sunday, December 18. “Gareth and Steve Holland received our full support to prepare for the Euros from now on.” England has not won a major trophy since winning the 1966 World Cup. But under the Southgate coach, England reached the 2018 World Cup semifinals and the 2021 European Cup finals. England will start the 2024 European Cup qualifiers against Italy on March 23, 2023. Ukraine, North Macedonia, and Malta are also in the same group.
