Gareth Southgate gets new job after leaving role as England manager.

After leading the England men's team for eight years, Gareth Southgate made the difficult decision to resign as manager following the Euro 2024 tournament. It was a bittersweet ending for Southgate, who had also reached the Euro 2020 and 2018/2022 World Cup finals with his team, only to fall short of victory. His final match as manager was a heartbreaking loss to Spain in the European Championship final.

In an emotional statement, Southgate expressed how much it meant to him to manage his country and thanked England for the incredible journey. But it didn't take long for Southgate to bounce back from his resignation. He recently landed a new job with UEFA as a technical observer for the upcoming Champions League season. Alongside former West Ham manager David Moyes, Southgate will attend matches and provide insights and reports to UEFA's analysts in Switzerland.

This role will not interfere with any potential punditry jobs for Southgate, as he continues to be highly regarded as one of England's greatest managers despite not winning a trophy. Under his leadership, England won 61 out of 102 matches, including more knockout games than in the previous 50 years. As the reformatted Champions League kicks off, teams like Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, PSG, and Manchester City will be vying for the coveted trophy.

Meanwhile, Southgate's successor has yet to be announced, and England has appointed Lee Carsley as interim manager for the upcoming Nations League matches. Carsley, who is familiar with the players and the international football cycle, hopes to secure promotion for England in the tournament. It is a temporary solution as the FA continues their search for a permanent replacement.

As Southgate steps down from his role, he leaves behind a talented squad full of exciting young players who he believes can bring home the trophy that all of England dreams of. He looks forward to watching and celebrating their future successes and inspiring the nation with their incredible talent. Southgate's legacy will forever be remembered, and he will always hold a special place in the hearts of England fans. Thank you, England, for everything.
