Speaking at today's press conference, Southgate said: "I am delighted to have the opportunity to lead the national team through the next two major tournaments.

"The job remains an incredible privilege and a true honour. Experiencing at first-hand how the nation united behind the team this summer was something special and it will be great to see how far this young squad can go in the years to come."

Southgate's assistant Steve Holland will also be staying until Qatar, the manager said: "I must acknowledge the hard work and commitment of my staff over the last two years.

"I have learned a great deal from them and their passion and professionalism in representing England has been an inspiration to my own work.

"In particular, Steve Holland who I'm pleased to be continuing to work alongside through to 2022. I would also like to thank Martin, Dan Ashworth and the FA Board for their support since my original appointment."
