Gareth Southgate signs new contract to lead Three Lions through to December 2024
England boss Gareth Southgate has signed a new three-year contract to lead the England team through the World Cup and Euros 2024.
Off the back of the Euro 2020 summer success and England qualifying for the World Cup, it comes as no surprise Southgate has extended his turn as manager.
We look at how the national media have reacted to the news with many positive reports and several highlighting the challenges that face the boss – mainly he has too much talent to pick from.
“It remains an incredible privilege to lead this team. We have a great opportunity in front of us,” he said.
Southgate will oversee England’s progress at next year’s World Cup, which runs from 21 November-18 December, and the qualification stages for Euro 2024, with the tournament taking place from 14 June-14 July.
"To step away at a moment where the next few years can be very exciting, I think that would've been very difficult to live with."
