Gareth Southgate will step down as England manager after eight years in charge, he said on Tuesday.

Southgate led England to the final of Euro 2024 – losing 2-1 to Spain on Sunday.

“As a proud Englishman, it has been the honour of my life to play for England and to manage England. It has meant everything to me, and I have given it my all,” he said. “But it’s time for change, and for a new chapter.”
