Gareth Southgate has left his role as England manager following the team’s Euro 2024 final defeat against Spain, the English Football Association (FA) have confirmed.
Under his stewardship, England reached the semifinals of the 2018 World Cup in Russia, the final of Euro 2020 (played in 2021), and the quarterfinals of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar before this latest run to the final of Euro 2024 in Germany.
England won eight knockout games in that period — all other managers of the men’s national team in history have won a combined nine.
Southgate took over the role on an interim basis in September 2016 after Sam Allardyce was sacked, before becoming the full-time manager later that year.
The FA will now begin its search for a new head coach who will lead the team in the 2026 World Cup in the United States, Mexico and Canada.
England’s next game is against Republic of Ireland in the UEFA Nations League on Sept. 7.
