Southgate said in a statement: “As a proud Englishman, I have been honoured to play forEngland and serve as their manager. It meant everything to me, and I did my best.”

“But it’s time for change, the beginning of a new chapter. Sunday’s European Championship final in Berlin against Spain was my last game as England manager.”

Southgate’s resignation as England manager came after eight years in charge.

Southgate led England to the Euro 2024 final, losing 2-1 to Spain on Sunday.
