Sky Sports reporter gives bombshell update on Gareth Southgate's future as England manager

Southgate was non-committal on Sunday night - but a new update has now emerged.

Sky Sports reporter Rob Dorsett has provided a significant update on the future of Gareth Southgate as England manager.

Southgate's side lost 2-1 to Spain in the Euro 2024 final on Sunday night.

The 53-year-old did not publicly confirm his intentions in regards to staying on in the role either pre-match or after the full-time whistle.

Instead, the England boss said he would take time to think about his future, having been in the role for nearly eight years.

But while he may not have publicly admitted his decision either way, Dorsett has given a key update on Southgate's apparent intentions.

He said: "I think he'll go. I said before the tournament, I thought this would be Gareth Southgate's last tournament.

"Everything that's happened out here. Plastic cups being thrown at him. Criticism from former England players, like Alan Shearer and Gary Lineker. Abuse from fans, his name being booed by England fans in the group stages when it was read out before.

Advert

"He knew all about that - he pretended he didn't. But it hurt him. He cannot understand why, when he's taken England to consecutive European Championship finals, and a World Cup semi-final, why he's still getting this criticism.

"He's ready for a club job. He wants a club job. I fully expect him to leave, to be honest."

Speaking after the match, Southgate had said: "Now is the not the time for me to speak about that [my future].

Advert

"I need to talk to the right people and give myself a bit of time.

"To get to another final, it was a privilege to have the opportunity. But to come up short is hard at the moment.

"The players will take enormous credit for getting us to where we did but when you're as close as that, you have to take your chance. They have represented the shirt with pride and haven't been beaten until the very end.

"I just think Spain had more control of the game."
