Gareth Southgate has led his team all the way to the Euro 2024 finals, but as his contract is up later this year, it's unclear whether he will continue, despite the squad urging him to
Gareth Southgate and his squad are raring to go as they face Spain in the Euro 2024 finals - but what will the outcome mean for the England manager's future?
The 53-year-old - described as at the "top" by his players - has led England since 2016, but whether his team wins or loses tonight, he's keeping his cards close to his chest."The way my emotions have gone over the last five weeks, it would be ridiculous for me to think about anything beyond this game," he said.
Southgate added: "When you look at the age profile of the squad, there are lots of parts of it that are going to be there for a long time. The World Cup in two years, the Euros at home. Without a doubt, the potential is there. But we have to get this trophy to get the respect of the rest of the football world.
Southgate has been clear in his stance that no discussions of his expiring deal will take place during the summer tournament and despite many believing he'll call time on his eight-year stay as manager following the Euros, he previously hinted that he'd be open to extending his stay on the international scene.
