Southgate: “If we don’t win the Euros, I’ll leave”

And the truth is, as soon as he arrived in Germany, he made his future clear: “If we don’t win the European Championship, I will probably leave.”

The contract of Southgate in England ends in December, but that country’s Football Federation (FA) wants the coach to continue until the end of the World Cup 2026.

Many believe that the stage of Southgate this Euro Cup may be over, others may accept a new contract. But these statements in the aforementioned German media were interpreted as a way to take the pressure off the team.

“If we don’t win, I probably won’t be here anymore. So maybe this is the last chance,” he said. Southgate. “I’ve been here almost eight years. You can’t always stand in front of people and say, ‘A little more, please.’ Somehow people lost faith, even though they were close (to a big title).
