Previously, he led the young England national team for three years.##NAJAVA_MECA_6893005##Southgate has had both ups and downs in his career as a national team gaffer, leading England to the semi-finals of the World Cup in 2018 and second place at the European Championship two years later. This year, he had bad results in the Nations League, where he was eliminated to the second division, but improved the image of his team at the World Cup in Qatar.After participating in the World Cup, he received a lot of support from the locker room, which was certainly one of the key reasons for making this decision.
