Gareth Southgate in His first interview since the World Cup at Qatar last year said His family was the motivation needed to continue Managing the England National team.
“There was negativity about me being in charge and the last thing I wanted was or that to be the over-arching feeling going into a World Cup when you need the fans and everybody behind the team. You need that energy; you need that sense of togetherness.”
“And if the debate was only going to be about find flaws in what we were doing, in order that I go at the end, then that would have been very difficult for the team to perform at their best.”
France defeated England 2-1 at the World Cup quarter finals.
“The performance against France has shown the players if they didn’t believe it before, which I still wonder whether they truly believed that before the game, but coming off the field they know that is a game they could win and should have won.”
England extended his contract till December 18th 2024 despite their early exit at the World Cup in Qatar.
