London: Gareth Southgate said he was resigning as England manager on Tuesday two days after they lost to Spain in the Euro 2024 final.

"It's time for change, and for a new chapter. Sunday's final in Berlin against Spain was my final game as England manager," he said in a statement.

Southgate took over in 2016 when England's fortunes were at a low ebb.

In the last four tournaments he led England to three semi-finals and two finals.

Prior to Southgate's appointment, the Three Lions had reached just three major tournament semi-finals and one final in their history, when they won the 1966 World Cup.
