Gareth Southgate, the manager of England, has resigned following the team's loss in the Euro 2024 final against Spain. This marks England's second consecutive defeat in a European Championship final, with Spain securing a 2-1 victory in Berlin. Previously, England faced a penalty shootout loss to Italy at Wembley three years ago.

During his tenure of eight years, Southgate managed the Three Lions in 102 matches. His contract was set to expire later this year. In a statement, Southgate expressed his pride in representing and managing England, calling it the honor of his life. However, he acknowledged the need for change and a new direction.

Southgate's legacy includes leading England to a major tournament final, a feat achieved previously only by Sir Alf Ramsey, the 1966 World Cup-winning manager. Under his leadership, England reached the semi-finals of the 2018 World Cup and the quarter-finals in 2022.

Despite criticism earlier in the tournament, Southgate won back support with England's impressive journey to the Euro 2024 final. He praised the young talent in the squad, expressing confidence that they can achieve future success and fulfill the nation's dreams.

Southgate concluded by thanking England's passionate supporters and expressed his continued dedication to the team as a fan. He looks forward to celebrating future achievements as the players continue to inspire the nation.
