Mirror Sport – Draw more years – Southgate hints at extension

The back page of the Daily Mirror leads with reports that England boss Gareth Southgate could extend his contract with the national team following the Euros 2024 in Germany – despite having suggested he would leave after the summer tournament. 

The paper says Southgate has hinted that depending on how well the squad do in Germany, could mean he extends his stay. This summer England will field arguably its strongest squad in years including the likes of Harry Kane, Jude Bellingham, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Declan Rice and Phil Foden. England is jam-packed with talent but Southgate has been regularly criticised for his squad choices such as Harry Maguire and Jordan Henderson. 

“Once a Blue, 10 minutes a Blue,” says the paper which reports that Blue Cards will be introduced to the FA Cup next season. The Blue cards will be shown to players for dissent and tactical fouls – it will mean the player will have to spend 10 minutes in the technical area.
