Southgate to decide on his future

Mikel Oyarzabal’s 86th-minute winner for Spain broke The Three Lions’ hearts as they lost back-to-back in the EURO finals.

Southgate has received a lot of criticism during the tournament for not living up to expectations as EURO 2024 favorites.

The 53-year-old’s contract expires in 2026, and said that he will decide on his future in some other time.

“I don’t think now is a good time to make a decision like that. I need to talk to the right people. It’s not for now.”

“Without a doubt, England have got some fabulous young players. Even the young ones now have got a lot of experience of tournaments. Many of this squad are going to be in two, four, six, eight years’ time.”

He added: “We have now been consistently back in the matches that matter but it’s the last step that we haven’t been able to do.”

“We came to Germany to win the tournament, and we didn’t want it to end this way. We are all hurting tonight, but we should be incredibly proud.”

The better team won

Spain became the first team to win every match at a Euros, earning their fourth European Championship.

Southgate acknowledged that the better team won, as he gave his flowers to Luis De La Fuente’s said.

Still, he lauded England’s effort for fighting until the final whistle.

“They were the best team in the tournament,” said Southgate. “They were the best team tonight.

“Our players have been incredible, they’ve given everybody some incredible nights.”

“They couldn’t have given anymore in terms of their effort, their desire, their character.”

“Tonight we fell short, we didn’t keep the ball well enough. We got the equaliser but I think the physical toll of the issues we came into the tournament with. The extra-time periods and then tonight, having as little of the ball as we did, ultimately that took a big toll.”
