Southgate resigned as England manager on Tuesday following their EURO 2024 final defeat to Spain.

Real Madrid’s Jude Bellingham praised the 53-year old on Instagram, saying he is the “easily one of the best coaches in the history.”

“I’d like to thank Gareth and his staff for the great memories during his tenure,” Bellingham wrote.

“From the point of view of a fan who has become a member of the squad, it’s been a rollercoaster of amazing emotions that has instilled hope and joy back into our country.

“It was a privilege being lead by someone who is so dedicated and passionate, not only is Gareth easily one of the best coaches in the history of the national team but also an unbelievable human being.

“Thank you for everything and all the best in the next chapter, Gaffer.”

Arsenal midfielder Declan Rice also gave his flowers to Southgate in an Instagram post.

“Thank you gaffer. It’s been a privilege to play for England under your guidance,” he wrote.

“Memories that will stay with me forever. All the best in your next adventure.”

Bayern Munich striker Harry Kane expressed his gratitude to Southgate, who appointed him as England captain in 2018.

“Boss. Thank you for everything you have done for me and our country!” he wrote on X.

“You have been one of England’s greatest ever managers and it has been a pleasure to have served as your captain throughout.”

“You helped our nation connect and believe in our team again. There have been so many highlights and we’ve made memories together that will last forever!”

Prince William, the president of the English Football Association, also thanked the outgoing coach for serving the England team for eight years.

“Gareth, I want to thank you — not as the President of the FA , but as an England fan,” the Prince of Wales said on X.

“Thank you for creating a team that stands shoulder to shoulder with the world’s finest in 2024. Thank you for showing humility, compassion, and true leadership under the most intense pressure and scrutiny.”

“And thank you for being an all-round class act. You should be incredibly proud of what you’ve achieved. W.”
