Overview
- Gareth Southgate told The Football Boardroom podcast he is not actively seeking coaching roles and has no desire to manage in the Premier League right now.
- He believes he could outperform some recent hires at elite clubs but accepts that perceptions of not winning with England create appointment “baggage.”
- Southgate has focused on business and broadcasting since leaving the England post after the Euro 2024 final defeat.
- Speculation about Manchester United intensified after Michael Carrick took interim charge and Steve Holland joined the backroom staff, though Southgate has dismissed a move to Old Trafford.
- His only previous club spell was at Middlesbrough, where he recorded two mid-table finishes before relegation, a record often cited in assessments of his club suitability.
