Gareth Southgate eyes defining moment ahead of possible last dance at Euro 2024 with England

Gareth Southgate is looking to guide the England men’s national team to a first trophy since 1966 at Euro 2024.

Gareth Southgate knows what it’s like to feel pressure. He’s felt the weight and expectation of a nation on his shoulders as both a player and a manager, so too the kaleidoscopic, bittersweet emotions and fine margins that are all entangled in the game of football. And, as he prepares for his fourth and potentially final major tournament as England manager at this summer’s Euro 2024 in Germany, he also knows that history is ultimately written by the victors. “The tournaments are what you’re in the role for. It’s ultimately where you’re judged and these are the opportunities to make history,” Southgate told CNN Sport’s Amanda Davies. “Ultimately, we’ll be judged on whether we win this.” Twice Southgate and his England team have been one page, one blot of ink away from writing their own names into the history books.
