“Gareth Southgate Eyes Club Management Comeback After Nearly 15 Years: A Journey from Middlesbrough to England Success

Having last navigated the world of club management with Middlesbrough in 2009, Southgate faced a setback after a three-season tenure. However, he rebounded impressively, carving a successful path as England Under-21 manager before assuming the role of the senior national team manager in 2016.

Under Southgate’s guidance, England experienced a remarkable transformation on the international stage.

The Three Lions reached the World Cup semi-finals in 2018, marking a significant achievement not seen since 1990.

In 2021, Southgate led the team to their first international tournament final since 1966, narrowly losing to Italy in the Euro 2020 final at Wembley Stadium.

Now, with a wealth of experience, Southgate contemplates a return to club management, marking a potential new chapter in his storied career.”

“Gareth Southgate Contemplates Post-2024 Future: Transition from Three Lions to Club Management?

Amidst speculation that Euro 2024 could mark the end of Gareth Southgate’s tenure with the England national team, the manager’s current contract extends until the close of 2024.

In a recent interview with Sky Sports, Southgate expressed confidence about his potential return to club management after his stint with the Three Lions:

“At 35, managing in the Premier League, I finished 12th and 13th. I’ve gained invaluable experience since then. No football job worldwide is intimidating after living this one.

I recall talking to Jose [Mourinho] at Man United, and he said, ‘Once you’ve done your current role, you can handle anything.’

Seven years into this role, I’m certain he was right. I’m assured in my current position and whatever lies ahead in the future.

While I won’t be here for decades, and the future remains uncertain, I approach it calmly without worries about what it holds.”
