England바카라™s most successful manager for more than half a century, Gareth Southgate has agreed to stay in the job until 2024. (More Football News)
The 51-year-old Southgate isn바카라™t ready for a return to club coaching just yet, especially when there바카라™s a chance to improve on reaching the semifinals of the 2018 World Cup and the final of this year바카라™s European Championship.
바카라śWhen you바카라™ve done work culturally and where they can challenge (for titles), you want to bring that to fruition,바카라ť Southgate said Monday. 바카라śWe바카라™ve only won one World Cup but we have to believe that바카라™s possible, it바카라™s an aim we have as a team.
바카라śTo step away when we think the next few years could have been exciting, that could be difficult to live with. If this contract is the last, I will only be 53 at the end of it and I hope there바카라™ll be a lot of my life at the end of it.바카라ť Now the focus is on the 2022 FIFA World Cup after qualifying last week.
바카라śThere was never a consideration I wouldn바카라™t go to Qatar,바카라ť Southgate said. 바카라śI wanted to be sure I was wholly committed beyond that. Tournaments take a lot out of you and the way it ended for us (losing on penalties to Italy at Euro 2020) took a lot of emotion and energy, and we were so quickly back in World Cup qualifying and I wanted to allow myself that consideration.
바카라śI didn바카라™t want it to be a case of me agreeing something with my mind somewhere else in 18 months. I바카라™ve signed to the (2024) Euros and if the team carry on playing at the level we know they can, that바카라™s when we take the next decision. I wanted to make sure I wasn바카라™t rushing into a decision that further down the line I might regret.바카라ť
There is a break clause after Euro 2024 in Germany allowing him to leave the job before the end of the year. Speaking alongside Southgate at Wembley Stadium, Football Association CEO Mark Bullingham spoke about how his organization could improve undisclosed pay terms.
바카라śIt바카라™s a performance-related contract and any rises or increases in bonuses are self-funded from an increase in commercial revenue or tournament prize money,바카라ť Bullingham said. Southgate took the England job on a permanent basis in November 2016 and is leading one of the country바카라™s most talented squads for several years.
Before Southgate, England바카라™s men hadn바카라™t reached a World Cup semifinal since 1990. Alf Ramsey is the only other manager to have taken England to a final, winning the 1966 World Cup.
