Gareth Southgate has called the end to his eight years as England director.
Gareth Southgate has decided to step down as England's director following their battle to Spain in the Euro 2024 last. This is the end of an era.
Following the penalty shootout battle to Italy in Euro 2020, Southgate oversaw the second consecutive European Championship final battle. Although he was able to stop England's prize drought, he will remain one of his nation's finest-ever professionals.
DataVictory examines the stats and accomplishments that support his claim to be the Three Lions ' best-ever boss ( along with the significant restriction of not including him in the trophy cabinet ).
Only two managers in England history have been in the dugout more times than Southgate, with his record of 61 wins from 102 matches in charge bettered only by Sir Alf Ramsey (69 wins from 113 games ) and Sir Walter Winterbottom (78 victories from 139 matches ).
The real thing is in-sports, and Southgate's report by the amount is unmatched by anyone else.
Southgate went to four games with England, finishing third at the 2018 World Cup after a move to the semi-finals, losing in the playoffs of Euros 2020 and 2024, plus a quarter-final battle at the 2022 World Cup.
No other administrator has reached the final four of three tournaments, not yet Ramsey. Sir Alf had a third-place end at a Euro 1968 that was contested by four team, plus a pair of World Cup quarter-finals in 1970 and 1974, while England did not qualify for the Euros in 1964 or the World Cup ten years later.
Winterbottom's best work was two World Cup quarter-finals in 1954 and 1962 from the four tournaments he managed at, while Sir Bobby Robson's part made the World Cup quarter-finals in 1986 and came third at Italia 90, sandwiching a party level leave at Euro 88.
Sven-Goran Eriksson oversaw three subsequent quarter-finals between 2001 and 2006, while Roy Hodgson was the only other manager to take England to three games, with a Euro 2012 quarter-final his great place.
Southgate has managed more tournament victories ( 14 ) than any other Englishman, putting up a record for the feat.
Southgate became the only person to bring England to a last on foreign soil as a result of England's move to the last this month in Germany.
Lastly, Southgate has the history for being involved in the most England games, winning 57 hats as a player and taking command of 102 games as director.
That means that Southgate has participated in 14.57 % of England's 1, 062 games since they last defeated Scotland on November 30, 1872. He may be missed.
