Former English defender, Gareth Southgate has been appointed England national team coach on a four-year contract reportedly worth up to £2m a year.
‘I am extremely proud to be appointed England manager. However, I am also conscious getting the job is one thing, now I want to do the job successfully,’ Southgate said on his appointment.
As interim manager, Southgate won his first game in charge; 2–0 against Malta. He went on to guide England to a goalless draw with Slovenia, then defeated Scotland 3–0 and drew 2–2 with Spain.
The 46-year-old, who made 57 appearances for England as a player, was promoted from his role as England U-21s manager in September following Sam Allardyce‘s sack after only 67 days and one match played.
His only match in charge of the Three Lions was a slim 1-0 away at Slovakia at the start of the 2018 World Cup qualifiers.
On June 27, Roy Hodgson resigned from the managerial post after Iceland knocked England out of Euro 2016 – which was won by a Cristiano Ronaldo-led Portugal.
