Gareth Southgate Appointed England Manager On 4-Year Contract

                         

The 46-year-old, who has been in charge of the national team for four games on a temporary basis, signed a four-year contract which will take in both the 2018 World Cup and the 2020 European Championship.
Also speaking, the Three Lions chief exec Martin Glenn said:

We are delighted to confirm Gareth as England manager. He’s obviously somebody we know well but it’s his understanding of international football and the development set-up at St. George’s Park that is important.“He performed extremely well during the four games he was in temporary charge and he impressed us during a tough interview process.

“Gareth is a great ambassador for what The FA stands for, he’s a very good football tactician and a leader but beneath that he’s a winner and that’s an important part of the job.”

The FA plan to unveil the ex-Middlesbrough gaffer at a press conference on Thursday, December 1, 2016.
