Gareth Southgate Extends Contract as England Manager

Extension Keeps Manager in Role Until 2024

Ex-Man Utd Boss Expresses Anger

In a move that has sparked mixed reactions, the Football Association (FA) has announced that Gareth Southgate has agreed to a two-year contract extension as England manager. The decision comes amidst ongoing speculation about Southgate's future, following the team's disappointing performance at the FIFA World Cup 2022.

The news has been met with anger from some quarters, particularly former Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson, who has publicly criticized the extension. Ferguson believes that Southgate has failed to deliver on his promise and should be replaced with a more experienced manager.

Southgate's supporters, however, argue that he has made significant progress with the England team, guiding them to the semi-finals of the 2018 World Cup and the final of Euro 2020. They believe that he deserves the opportunity to continue his work and build on these successes.

The FA's decision to extend Southgate's contract is a bold one, given the mixed opinions about his performance. However, the FA believes that Southgate is the right man to lead England into the future and is confident that he can deliver success in the upcoming UEFA Euro 2024 tournament.
