Since March, the Three Lions have failed to win any match. With the World Cup approaching, this is not ideal. It’s also a surprising drop in form for England after a great improvement under Southgate.
52-year-old led England to the semi-finals in the last World Cup. They also reached the final of Euro 2020 and lost to Italy on penalties. Romano of
seems to believe Southgate’s job is safe for now, particularly since Graham Potter, who recently left Brighton to become Chelsea manager, is not an option.
Romano stated in his CaughtOffside column that “At the moment, nothing has changed. Southgate is considered to be the right manager for World Cup,”
“I believe he deserves this opportunity at the World Cup after fantastic Euros and then… We will see.”
“Graham Potter is really appreciated for the near future, but now with Chelsea job that option has fallen away of course.”
While many England fans will be disappointed at the FA’s decision to not offer Potter a chance, many Southgate supporters will surely be glad that they have given him more time, considering all that he has achieved during his time in the job.
Potter could have been a good option for England and many fans will be disappointed that the FA missed that opportunity, but many will also surely be happy to give Southgate a bit more time after all he’s achieved in his time in the job.
