Manage episode 353587580 series 2943541
In his first interview since the 2022 World Cup, Gareth Southgate reveals how close he came to quitting as England manager.
Speaking to BBC sports editor Dan Roan, Southgate says he wrestled with his future in the build-up to Qatar because of “concern” that criticism was “divisive and inhibits performance”.
He says he has no regrets about his tactics in the quarter-final defeat to France and explains why he’s decided to stay on for another crack at silverware in Euro 2024.
The BBC’s chief football writer Phil McNulty joins Delyth Lloyd, Nesta McGregor and Dan Roan to discuss the interview and debate Southgate’s past, present and future.
