Southgate rewarded with a new contract for two years
Gareth Southgate has been rewarded with a two-year contract extension after leading England to the final of Euro 2020, the Football Association announced on Monday.
Southgate, who also masterminded a run to the semi-finals at the 2018 World Cup in Russia, has transformed his team into serious contenders at major tournaments after years of underachievement.
Reports in recent weeks suggested the 51-year-old was set to sign a new deal after the Qatar World Cup late next year.
