Following his participation in his fourth international tournament in Germany this summer, it’s anticipated that Southgate will step down as England’s manager. Despite being one of the top contenders to secure their first title since 1966, Maguire expresses a preference for Southgate to remain in charge of the national team rather than transitioning to club management, particularly amidst rumours linking him to Manchester United as a potential successor to Erik ten Hag.

In remarks to the press, Maguire stated [via The Mirror]: “Is winning the Euros a target? Yeah, definitely, obviously.‌ We want to be successful in the Euros – we are not looking at the World Cup at the moment – but obviously, if we are successful at the Euros, which is our main focus, of course, we want to be successful.”

“If Gareth’s the man to make us be successful then we want him to stay as long as possible. I’ve had a great relationship with him. I’ve been a big part of the success and the progression that we’ve shown as a country. And I’m sure he will say the same thing now, it’s all about winning a trophy.”

‌“I don’t know what’s going to happen after the Euros, I don’t know if he knows what’s going to happen. But I feel like what he’s done from when he first took over this job to where we are at now, we’ve taken huge strides and he’s a massive part of that.”

Southgate’s current contract expires in December, and discussions regarding a renewal won’t take place until after Euro 2024. It’s commonly assumed that after spending a substantial period in international football, he might aspire to return to club management. With uncertainty surrounding Ten Hag’s future at Manchester United, speculation has linked the 53-year-old with a significant move to Old Trafford, where new co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe aims to revitalize the team.

In the meantime, the England manager remains fully committed to the immediate task at hand, with Euro 2024 set to commence in less than three months. He will lead his team in a friendly against Brazil at Wembley Stadium on Saturday, March 23, keeping his focus on the upcoming challenges.
