England boss Gareth Southgate in World Cup defeat: Time to part ways


According to British media reports, England coach Gareth Southgate has realized that if the team's performance in the Qatar World Cup is still not satisfactory, then his coach position will be removed.


Southgate's contract with England does not expire until December 2024, but Southgate also believes that if the Three Lions do not play as well as they should at the World Cup, the duration of the contract will also change. It doesn't make sense.


Southgate said in an earlier interview that his main concern at the moment is to get a good result against Germany in the UEFA Nations League. He also pointed out that he was not stupid and knew that everything in the future would depend on how he performed in the World Cup . He also said, "The coach can sign a contract for three to five years, but if it doesn't get a good result, then it's time to part ways. Why am I different from everyone else? I'm not arrogant enough to think the contract can be completely protect me."


Southgate also thanked him when asked about the FA's support for him earlier. He said, "People's emotions will change with the outcome of the game. I can look at it with a realistic attitude, the outside world will judge me based on the performance of the team in the World Cup, but I will also be very open to comments."


However, in today's UEFA Nations League home game against Germany, England overtook the opponent with the goals of Luke Shaw, Mount and Kane after being led by 2 goals, but Germany's Havertz was close to the game. In the final stage, he also scored a goal. In the end, England could only shake hands with Germany 3-3, and England did not taste the victory in 6 rounds.


It seems that in addition to improving the overall strength of the English players, coach Gareth Southgate also needs to let the whole team get rid of the shadow of invincibility in a short period of time in order to counterattack in the Qatar World Cup.
