Gareth Southgate Drops Major Hint About His Next Move
Gareth Southgate, the former England manager, has been making waves with his latest comments about his next career move. The 52-year-old, who stepped down as England boss after their Euro 2024 defeat to Spain, has hinted that his next role might not be in football at all.
In an interview with Sky News, Southgate revealed that he’s "very open-minded" to what’s next and that it "might be in football, that might be outside of football." He also stated that he needs to "refresh, recharge, and go from there."
This is a significant departure from previous rumors suggesting that Southgate could replace Erik ten Hag at Manchester United. The Dutchman has been struggling to get the team’s season back on track, and Southgate’s name has been mentioned as a potential replacement. However, it seems that the former England boss is not interested in the role.
Instead, Southgate seems to be taking a step back and re-evaluating his priorities. He mentioned that he’s been "shut[ting] [himself] off from everything" since leaving his role as England manager, and that he needs some time to recharge.
This could be a sign that Southgate is looking to take a break from football and explore other opportunities. He’s had an incredible eight-year journey with the England team, leading them to four major tournaments and raising expectations for the future of English football.
So, what’s next for Gareth Southgate? Only time will tell, but one thing is certain – he’s not going to be in a hurry to rush back into the game. Follow us on all social media platforms for more updates on Southgate’s next move and all the latest news from the world of football!
