England make their mind up! FA decide Gareth Southgate's future - regardless of Euro 2024 final result

Per the <a href="https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/england-manager-gareth-southgate-contract-33223336" target="_blank">Daily Mirror</a>, the FA have decided that they want Southgate to stay as manager regardless of the outcome of Sunday's final against Spain. The Three Lions boss has a deal that expires in December and there had been an expectation that he would leave upon its expiration, but that may no longer be the case.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Southgate has guided England to two successive European Championship finals - the first men's manager to do so - and also to the first male final on foreign soil. While he is said to be open to taking a club job - <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/gareth-southgate-ideal-candidate-man-utd-england-boss-cultural-reset-old-trafford/bltd2c59a4c7c73123a" target="_blank">he was linked with Manchester United</a> - the FA are keen to reward eight years of progress. He also took England to a World Cup semi-final in 2018, and the quarter-finals in 2022, where they were beaten by finalists France.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

The hope from the FA is that they can convince Southgate to stay until the 2026 World Cup, which is set to take place in the United States, Canada and Mexico. The Three Lions have yet to learn who they will face in their qualification group.

DID YOU KNOW?

England will go in search of glory on Sunday when they take on Spain in Berlin. A win would end 56 years of hurt for the men's side.
