Gareth Southgate, former England manager, has hinted at exploring opportunities beyond coaching after stepping down following the Euro 2024 final. Southgate, 54, revealed in a LinkedIn post that he is taking time to reflect and recharge after eight years in one of football’s most demanding roles.
Southgate acknowledged the unique challenges and responsibilities of coaching top players and representing England, emphasizing the sense of purpose it provided. The ex-defender shared that his next move may lie outside football, as he seeks to find a new purpose. He highlighted his approach to this transitional phase, focusing on continuous learning, networking, and exploring different experiences.
Currently, Southgate is dedicating more time to supporting charities while evaluating his future options. Paul Gascoigne recently suggested Southgate or Alan Shearer as potential successors to Gary Lineker as *Match of the Day* host. However, Southgate remains open-minded, valuing his time away from football to determine his next path.
