England advanced to the Euro 2024 round of 16 as group winners despite lackluster performances, including a goalless draw against Slovenia. Criticism has mounted against Southgate and his team for their subpar showing in all three group matches.

Now, Richard Keys has added his voice to the criticism, suggesting that the Football Association should consider immediately dismissing Southgate and bringing in former Premier League manager Harry Redknapp on a short-term basis before their first knockout match. Keys, speaking on beIN Sports, expressed disappointment with England’s recent performances, stating, “I’m so depressed, I thought that was so miserable once again tonight. I’m at a point where if I were able to make that decision, yes, I probably would because we are going nowhere double quick. We’re here to win it, that, what I’ve seen tonight, that’s not winning the next game, let alone the tournament.

Keys recommended reaching out to Harry Redknapp, who is presently in Dubai, suggesting, “Harry Redknapp’s sat in Dubai tonight, give him a call. [Jurgen] Klopp won’t do it but Harry, you think he wouldn’t be on a plane tomorrow morning?”

England could potentially face Netherlands, Romania, Slovakia, Ukraine, or Belgium in their Euro 2024 round of 16 match on Sunday in Gelsenkirchen.
