Former national team coach Gareth Southgate (54), who led England to the final at Euro 2024 in July, revealed hints about his next move.
Originally, he was expected to take the helm of English Premier League (EPL) teams such as Manchester United. However, former Southgate is trying to take a completely different path. He revealed himself that he is preparing to try new things outside of the soccer world.
British media ESPN reported on the 26th (Korea Standard Time) 'Southgate, the former head coach of the British national team, is thinking of making a new career outside the soccer world' Former Southgate led England's national team from 2016 to the summer of 2024.
There was controversy, but it is generally evaluated that England's self-esteem was revived through good performances. In July, he finished runner-up at Euro 2024.
Southgate, who later stepped down as England manager under a contract, has remained very popular for a while. Not a few EPL clubs wanted him. Manchester United were the most active. However, after replacing Erik ten-Hach, Manchester United brought in Hoobeng Amorim. Former Southgate had a time of silence.
It seems that he has agonized over a new career path through such time. Former Southgate has finally mentioned his next move. He posted a lengthy post on LinkedIn, an SNS platform, on the 26th. He said he was looking for his next goal in life. The goal was not football.
Former Southgate said "Thanks to the high target, I have continued to live a life on track. It will be difficult to replicate by making my life more satisfactory,' he said, noting that it is not easy to return to the soccer world. "That's why I won't limit my future career options to just soccer coaches," he said, adding that he can choose a career outside of the soccer world.
Under the circumstances, former Southgate's 'New Choice' is likely to be a charity activity. He added "In one of the most high-profile roles in world football over the past eight years, I take time to consciously reflect on what I've been through and think deeply about what's next"We are carefully preparing for the start of a new career."
