Gareth Southgate has resigned as England manager following the team's 2-1 defeat to Spain in the Euro 2024 final in Berlin. Southgate, who has been in charge for eight years, led England to two consecutive European Championship finals and one World Cup semi-final. Despite the Football Association's hopes for him to extend his contract, Southgate decided it was time for a new chapter. He expressed that managing England was the honor of his life and that he had given his all. The FA is now searching for a new manager, with former Swansea City boss and Mauricio Pochettino among the favorites. An interim solution is reportedly in place.
