After England’s World Cup loss, coach Southgate discusses his future in Qatar 2022

Following Saturday night’s 2-1 loss to France in the 2022 FIFA World Cup quarterfinal, England head coach Gareth Southgate has claimed he needs time to “think” before deciding if he is ready to remain in that position.

Up until the summer of 2024, Southgate will be under contract.

After making so many promises in Qatar, England’s 2022 World Cup campaign came to a tragic conclusion against France Sunday night.

Aurelien Tchouameni’s long-range shot gave France the advantage in the first half, but Harry Kane tied the score for England by converting a penalty 10 minutes after the restart.

At that point, Southgate’s team appeared to be the more likely winners, but striker Olivier Giroud’s header proved to be the game-winner before Kane missed another penalty-kick opportunity to send the match into overtime.

Southgate responded to an ITV question on his future by saying, “I believe after every tournament, we’ve sat and analyzed and reflected.

“That needs some time to ensure that everyone chooses the appropriate course of action.”
