Southgat wants to “prove people wrong” at the club level after his role in England

England coach Gareth Southgate said he would like to return to club management at some point and be motivated to “prove people wrong” about his career in home football.

Southgate, who was given a full-time job in England in 2016, he signed a new contract until the end of 2024 on Monday. He led England to the 2018 World Cup finals and the 2020 Euro Cup finals this year. The 51-year-old’s only job in charge of a club was at Middlesbrough, where his three-year career ended after he was relegated from the Premier League in 2009.

“The challenge is obvious because people see the management of my club through the eyes of a fall. There’s a part where people want to prove it wrong, ”Southgat told British media on Monday.

“It’s going to be a day where I’m going to do that, I’m sure. If I could decide that in three years, I would be 53 years old, with the experience of managing in a job of the highest pressure in football, behind the biggest football matches in the world.

“If that was the decision at the time, then I would have a lot of great experiences behind it. But I don’t know what I will feel in three years. And I don’t feel the need to push for other things. “

England qualified for the World Cup next year in Qatar a 10-0 victory in San Marino in the first week.
