England Manager Signs New Contract Until December 2024

Gareth Southgate has signed a two-years contract extension after leading England to the final of Euro 2020, the Football Association disclosed this on Monday.

Southgate, who also masterminded a run to the semi-finals at the 2018 World Cup in Russia, has transformed his team into serious contenders after years of underachievement.

Reports over recent weeks suggested the 51-year-old was set to sign a new deal, which had been due to end after the Qatar World Cup late next year.

“I am delighted that Steve and I have been able to extend our stay in our respective roles,” said Southgate, in a statement released by the FA.

Southgate became England’s manager in 2016 after Sam Allardyce’s dismissal and has since overseen a period of relative success for the national side.
