England manager Gareth Southgate resigns after Euro 2024 final defeat | BBC News 

England can never just say "Well done" and "Thanks"; instead, it is a grumble, a cringey, never-ending winge-athon. The media and the fans can veer toxic. England may want a fresh change in management, but at least be classy to Southgate on his way out.

Now England won’t get past the quarterfinals like before 🤦🏻‍♂️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

I'm gutted he's leaving, he has been a fantastic manager

He took England to 2 finals! god, when it comes to being toxic to their own manager, England are always the world champions!

Farewell Gareth, thanks for everything you have done for England over these past 8 years. Wish you all the best in your future endeavours ♥️

We should Salute this man!! He took us from irrelevance to very serious contender in a relatively short time! We can have pride in our national side. And now he's stepping aside with dignity to let the next person have a go and do better. Amazing man, I salute you 👏

Southgate analysis is simple. 1. He must be respected and praised for achieving more than any England manager since Alf Ramsey; 2. He's a class act and gentleman in the way he unified the team, managed the players and media; 3. He resigned with dignity at the exact right time as he's taken us as far as we can go; 4. The negative, defensive style of football he employed is simply not appropriate for the best attacking options we've had for generations; 5. We now need a manager that can create a system and environment that actually maximises our world class players' talents so we can see the best of Bellingham, Foden. Oh and who picks based on form and performance, not favouritism or brand.

Gareth you have been breath of fresh air for England good luck in the future.

He's been huge for England. Did a great job. Thank you Gareth 🙏

I don't care about football at all, but it seems to me like a guy who got his team all the way to the final is a great coach.

How England fans sees 2 consecutive finals as something random is beyond me.

Wish him all the best in his future endeavors.

Scotland fans saying... Beating Spain isn't for everyone 😂

best coach england has had since bobby robson

No matter England fans like him or not, fact is that he led England team to final 2 terms.

To be fair he has taken England further than they have previously. 2 Euro finals is pretty impressive, and almost a pipe dream before. I have little doubt he has helped set the groundwork to help England be a viable force in the future.

He's one of the best managers that England could have 2 Finals at Euro one semi final at world cup

I respect Gareth Southgate.. It is always easy to criticise people.. If you don’t stand with people on their bad time, you’ve no roght to be with them , when they are successful. Wish you all the best Mr Gareth❤.. I appreciate all your hardwork to bring the boys to the finals ❤❤❤

Best manager england has ever had .. u will be missed❤

Gareth was on to something with his squad as evident by how close England has been to winning these tournaments but the ultimate magic of pulling it off and beating our opponents lies within the team. Whom ever we get next as manager needs to identify strong player's and ween out the weakest.

He had his faults but did a damn good job overall, bringing England to two back to back Euro finals and the 2022 FIFA quarter finals and 2018 Semi-finals. Before that England's performance was abysmal, he helped revitalise English football beyond the Premier League, so fair play to him

The British need to stop slating him he done more for England than most

No Manager/Coach can make a team of 11 grown, skilled men perform well and score goals. They too must keep their end of the bargain. It’s their responsibility. Big Up yourself Mr Southgate. You really ought to be proud.

Good luck with your future endeavors😊

If you thought England was going to beat Spain then you need deliverance 😂

He simply never had the charisma and personality for this role. His resignation was long overdue

An honourable and talented gentleman to the end. Good luck to him for the future.

*Thanks for keeping us updated! I feel sympathy and empathy for our country. low income people are suffering to survive, and I appreciate Amanda. You've helped my family with your advice. imagine investing $30,000 and receiving $95,460 after 28 days of trading*

How has he been successful as a manager what did England win with him ??

Just need Lineker and Shearer to resign and it will have been a perfect euros campaign!

The finals of two major competitions, name two England managers to beat that

New job as wales prime minister😂

I thought England did well in the final. I had a tenner on 7 - 0 to Spain so well done lads.

This will backfire big time

Football is coming Home ❌ Gareth is coming Home ☑

I think Paul Gascoigne should be the England Team Manager. I know has his issues. But he was the best player of his Generation.

"Oh no....anyway"

Thanks Gareth and best wishes to you and your family .

Best england manager in my lifetime. Refreshed the team a lot.

His substitution worked in the final but then so did Spains. Compare him to Roy Hodgeson or Steve McLaren. It's not even close

English Football needs to learn from History. It's not Gareth, it's Spain. Ask 2008-2014 Germany, Italy and Netherlands. Only the Germans survived the formidable Armada and won in the end. How,? They trusted the process. _ This resignation feels like a self-inflicted shot in the foot (no pun intended)

we will miss u Gareth, thanks for everything

Thank you couch for what you have done for us. Cheers Gareth

He was aided by easy draws in the tournaments he reached the finals of, and still barely won matches.

He took us to …..2 euro finals…….i suppose it had nothing to do with the actual players…who actually kick the ball😂

there will be many moments in the future when fans recall old good Southgate times

Better reinvent the wheel than let a seasoned manager in his prime finalize the learning curve after 2 finals.

Thank you Gareth 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Glad the news reader let me know he is the mens manager

Why is this breaking news??? We already knew that was happening

He has made up his mind too soon . He was the best we had since alf Ramsey

Whether we like his style of football or not, Gareth was on a trajectory with this England squad. Unless we win the WC now with a new manager, we may have to get used to many more years of not even getting as close as Gareth has

Harry Kane can’t play football

Gareth thank you for everything you've given us some of the best England moments of our lives

Has Beckham settled his tax bill.

They will miss him 2 euros final in row. Next managers wont get as far trust me. Nice chap

And a big thanks to all the haters , media , pundits and of course the fans who expect England just to turn up and win .

Oh dear, how sad, never mind!

England hadn’t even made a Euro final before. Now they’re back-to-back runner-up under his watch.

Thank you for taking us to two finals.

End of an era, thank you Gareth.

Now its time for Karry Hane to step down as England captain and should retire, his inclusion would never give England the International trophy 🏆 they'll collect only runners-up medal 🏅 at the finals........

Just like when David Cameron and Roy Hogdson resigning after Brexit and Euro respectively, a deja vu happened to Rishi Sunak and Gareth Southgate.

Bullied out by media, bbc pundits and some fans. Gutted.

Greatest manager of England ever

oh well, clouds are fluffy today

They came so far in euro cup 2024 .. so why resign ? For what ?

Anything less than winning was a failure. Southgate did well, but ultimately won nothing and therefore had to resign

Dear Garath, There was no need to resign. You are the best manager that England can ever imagine.

Lots of things to be proud of but maybe a change is needed.

bbc will hire him

In regards to appointing a manager for England, the issue lies with the FA, which seems to prioritize appointing figureheads over selecting a manager with the best chance of leading England to victory. The FA also needs to be held accountable as they introduce new rules to the game, like adding significant amounts of minutes to games that could mean up to 3-6 more additional games per season for the average Premiership player. Players were already mentally and physically fatigued before this, but they have used business before respecting the spirit of the game, which reflected deeply in the way Gareth Southgate laid out the team. The FA needs to scale down the amount of playing time by 15% in order to reduce injuries and fatigue to our key players; otherwise, the potential England has will not be shown when playing for England. There is a reason why football will not come home any time soon.

Resigned smartly before he got sacked, well played Mr. Southgate, only if England could play as well in the finals under you.

Thanks a lot our dear coach southgate yo deserve all our love ❤️

He was still actually one of England's best managers but just wasn't efficient enough in his tactics and decisions and considering the amount of talent in the squad, should have won atleast one trophy. Great effort nontheless! All the best to him for his future endeavours!!

BELIEVE! Lads, we did it!

Thankyou Southgate for everything, Despite being weak at tactics you have been a great manager, if not the best manager we’ve had in years considering you are the second ever one to get us to a final and the fact you got us to back to back finals is incredible. Good luck for the future, we will miss you from the potential replacements

It is a shame I blame the media he got England to two finals good luck Southgate in the future

Thank you sir for everything ❤️❤️

Falling in the final twice in a row translates to England's historic failure to obtain titles

No one can deny that we’ve got far under him. But the Euro 2024 was all luck, and we just weren’t up to par. Needed a change. Best of luck to him, right decision made by him.

Gareth Southgate should have quit three weeks ago. England did not deserve to win, they are weak and played the final by chance. Spain won every match, he was the most deserving of the victory. Why is Southgate upset, his team did not deserve a different result. But team captain Kane can also go play pool.

Gutted. he was an excellent manager. Media and toxic fans ruined things

Hallelujah !!!!!!!!

Pickford should step down with him 👽👽👽

The best England Manager in my lifetime, thanks Gareth, .....respect. Time for a change now though

England made it to the finals in spite of Southgate. His team selection and tactical selections were poor. Let’s not forget we entered the tournaments as favourites and then proceeded to play boring defensive football

Gareth Southgate you are the best. We love you forever. Please don't leave England ❤❤❤

And thats the last time england get to a final

Another option would have been to make him change his name to give the team a new direction, like Northgate for instance? As going south has never been a good one...

I am worried if we might not be able to win the semi finals. I want to thank him for making England through to the finals

BRING IN SOME NEW YOUNG PLAYERS - SPAIN TOOK A CHANCE AND IT PAYED OFF😂

Inherited golden generation of 2017 - youth world cup champions.

He made no subs, bad tactically and can never get I’ve the line as player and manage… we need someone better and stronger as a country 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

He probably made his decision before the tournament but didn’t want to unsettle the team.

What a coward

I don't understand the media and fans of England believe they have the capacity to win if it weren't for Gareth Southgate. You guys have never won any single trophy since 1966 World cup. It has been 58 YEARS. You should be thankful to Gareth that he put little England to the final. What a toxic pride in a nationwide level, unbelievable.

Maybe England needs a change of fans base. The fans treat the team like trash.

Jurgen Klopp for England Manager now we need him !

Impressive performance got England into finals which has not been the normal territory for England. Enjoyed watching England
