BERLIN (Reuters) – England coach Gareth Southgate said he would discuss his future with top officials after his team’s defeat in the Euro 2024 final by Spain on Sunday.
England lost in the final of the tournament for the second time in a row under Southgate after substitute Mikel Oyarzabal scored an 86th-minute goal to give Spain a 2-1 victory.
“I totally understand the question and understand you need to ask it, but I need to have those conversations with important people behind the scenes and I’m obviously not going to discuss that publicly first,” Southgate told reporters.
“Without a doubt, England have got some fabulous young players,” he said. “We have now been consistently back in the matches that matter. It’s the last step that we haven’t been able to do.”
