Gareth Southgate has announced he will leave his position as manager of England\u2019s men\u2019s team.<\/strong><\/p>\nThe Three Lions were beaten by Spain in Sunday\u2019s Euro 2024 final, continuing their 58-year wait for a trophy.<\/p>\n
Southgate remained tight-lipped on his future in the immediate aftermath of that defeat, but confirmed his decision to stand aside in an emotional statement to England fans on Tuesday morning.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs a proud Englishman, it has been the honour of my life to play for England and to manage England. It has meant everything to me, and I have given it my all,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut it\u2019s time for change, and for a new chapter. Sunday\u2019s final in Berlin against Spain was my final game as England manager.<\/p>\n
\u201cI joined the FA in 2011, determined to improve English football. In that time, including eight years as England men\u2019s manager, I have been supported by some brilliant people who have my heartfelt thanks.<\/p>\n
\u201cI could not have had anyone better alongside me than Steve Holland. He is one of the most talented coaches of his generation, and has been immense.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have had the privilege of leading a large group of players in 102 games. Every one of them has been proud to wear the three lions on their shirts, and they have been a credit to their country in so many ways.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe squad we took to Germany is full of exciting young talent and they can win the trophy we all dream of. I am so proud of them, and I hope we get behind the players and the team at St. George\u2019s Park and the FA who strive every day to improve English football, and understand the power football has to drive positive change.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy special thanks go to the backroom staff who have provided the players and me with unstinting support over the last eight years. Their hard work and commitment inspired me every day, and I am so grateful to them \u2013 the brilliant \u2018team behind the team\u2019.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have the best fans in the world, and their support has meant the world to me. I\u2019m an England fan and I always will be.<\/p>\n
\u201cI look forward to watching and celebrating as the players go on to create more special memories and to connect and inspire the nation as we know they can.<\/p>\n
\u201cThank you, England \u2013 for everything.\u201d<\/p>\n
Southgate took England to two major finals, more than any other in the history of the national team.<\/p>\n
He is widely credited with rebuilding the spirit needed to make the Three Lions consistent contenders and was much-loved by players, who insisted throughout Euro 2024 they wanted him to stay.<\/p>\n
Southgate\u2019s contract was due to expire in December but the FA will begin the search for a successor immediately following his decision to resign.<\/p>\n
