Appointed in 2016, Southgate revitalized a struggling England squad, leading them to consecutive Euro finals and a World Cup semi-final.
Despite these achievements, Southgate felt the time was right to step down. “It is time for change, and for a new chapter,” he stated.
His tenure saw a major transformation in the team’s performance. Under his guidance, England reached new heights, but failed to win any major tournament.
