"That will depend very much on how we get on next summer" - Gareth Southgate confess that he Might not be the man to lead England in the 2022 World Cup

England’s Manager, Gareth Southgate has admitted that despite the sweet run of results in the Euro 2020 Qualifiers does not mean he will still be the man in charge of the three Lions during the 2022 World Cup.

He disclosed that a difficult Euros next month could mean that someone else would be taking over his spot.

England have enjoyed comprehensive wins against Montenegro and Kosovo which landed them on the top spot in Group A. The three Lions have been ranked as one of the favorites to win the Euros where all their group games would be played at Wembley.

Southgate will be heading to Qatar to watch Liverpool participate in the FIFA Club World Cup campaign and also look at potential team camps ahead of the prestigious World tournament.

 

 

"Well, that will depend very much on how we get on next summer," said Southgate, who is contracted until after Qatar 2022.

"When you have a week like you've had, you sense that people can fall out of love with you and if there isn't a warmth for you to continue, then that can start to affect the team.

"So, I'm realistic about how quickly those tides can turn, but we've always planned short, mid and long-term over the last eight years.

"I think when I started and we looked at other federations, we were almost embarrassed to go and look at where we should be preparing for. And Germany were always there, and they'd already secured the best hotel! So, I think we've had to be a bit bolder and say: 'No, look, it's not a jinx to go and do it'.

"We've got to have belief in what we're doing and execute the right preparation. Without taking any focus off what we're doing next summer, we've got to get the next bit right, otherwise we'll be behind the curve. And I think the best organizations get that short, mid and long-term planning right."
