Gareth Southgate has resigned as England manager
In a statement, shared by the official England account on X, Southgate said: «As 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.
«But it’s time for change, and for a new chapter. Sunday’s final in Berlin against Spain was my final game as England manager.»
Southgate’s team came from behind to level with Spain in the German capital but was beaten by a late winner. He said after the match that the «best team of the tournament» had won.
Thanking England fans, who Southgate said were the «best in the world,» he added that he «looks forward to watching players go on to create more special memories and to connect and inspire the nation as we know they can».
The England X account posted on social media saying: «After 102 games and almost eight years in charge, Gareth Southgate has announced he is to leave his role as manager of the #ThreeLions.»
The account’s biography was also updated to say: «Thank you, Gareth.»
