FA wants Gareth Southgate to stay with England regardless of final result
Hope is manager will extend contract beyond DecemberRemains to be seen if manager wants new challenge
The Football Association will attempt to keep Gareth Southgate beyond his current contract even if England lose to Spain in the Euro 2024 final on Sunday.
Southgate’s deal expires in December and talks over his future have been put on ice until the Euros are over. But the manager retains the support of key figures at the FA and there is a desire for him to lead England into the 2026 World Cup.
