<p>Following the Three Lions' defeat to Spain in the European Championship final earlier this year, Southgate announced his resignation as England's manager. Since then, he has <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/gareth-southgate-new-job-resigning-england-manager-euro-2024-heartbreak/blt7f48afa20d3aa58f" target="_blank">served as a technical observer for UEFA</a>.

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Southgate is said to have a tight relationship with a number of United executives, including Sir Dave Brailsford and sporting director Dan Ashworth, with whom he previously worked at the FA. However, Southgate has now revealed that he will not take another job for at least another year.</p>

<p>Speaking at the ECA general assembly, Southgate said: "I won’t coach in the next year, for sure. I’m certain of that. I need to give myself time to make good decisions. When you come out of a really big role you need to give your body time, you need to give your mind time."</p>

WHAT SOUTHGATE SAID

<p>The former Middlesborough manager will now continue to remain as a technical observer for UEFA and will look to recuperate before deciding upon his future.</p>
