After a heartbreaking defeat for England in the 2024 Euros, Gareth Southgate steps down as England manager 

The Three Lions lost 2-1 to Spain in Berlin on Sunday, having been beaten on penalties by Italy at Wembley three years ago. The 53-year-old manager was appointed to coach his country for 102 games in eight years in a row. 

He said: ““As a proud Englishman, it has been the honour of my life to play for England and to manage England,” Southgate said. “It has meant everything to me, and I have given it my all. 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.”
