British media Daily Mail reported on the 27th (Korea time) that former Southgate will be included in the list of New Year's honours and will be knighted. The decision was made after clarifying the alleged tax evasion,' the report said.
Former Southgate has made outstanding achievements by leading England's national team over the past eight years. In particular, he led England to the final at the 2020 and 2024 Euros. Although they both finished second, going to the final for the second consecutive time is also a big achievement. This is because he reached the finals of two major tournaments for the first time since 1966. Former Southgate resigned after failing to win the Euro 2024 final in July, losing 1-2 to Spain.

Citing The Sun's report, the media reported that `Southgate is about to be awarded the New Year's Day title, but some are not acknowledging his achievements.' It is said that there is controversy over the award of titles due to past records.
Director Southgate has invested in a film investment company in the past. It's a company called Ingenius. However, the company caused problems by illegally recruiting investors and committing tax evasion. Former Southgate was also suspected of being involved. However, it was determined that Southgate did not break the tax rules in 2021. The decision to award the title can be seen as based on this ruling.
