<a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/every-england-player-euro-2024-rated/blt6382bc5b01161ac6" target="_blank">England faced more disappointment </a>at the European Championships, losing to Spain in the final. It marked a successive defeat at the last stage and now reports from<a href="https://talksport.com/football/1962821/england-fear-gareth-southgate-step-down-euro-2024/" target="_blank"> talkSPORT</a> suggest Southgate is seriously considering walking away. According to the report, FA chiefs have been briefed on the 53-year-old's departure and they are considering Graham Potter and Eddie Howe as potential replacements.

WHAT HAPPENED?

There is no doubt that England have improved with Southgate at the helm, but there is a general feeling that <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/gary-lineker-euro-2024-final-gareth-southgate-last-game-management-england-spain-victory-attacking-football/blt490d78fc9d7dec49" target="_blank">he has taken them as far as he can</a> from a tactical viewpoint. Potter and Howe both play an attacking brand of football and may be better suited to the current crop of players, whose talents lie in the final third rather than their own half.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Croatia (7.10) accumulated more expected goals than the Three Lions (6.43) despite going out in the group stages. Hosts Germany scored three more goals than Southgate's side, even though Julian Nageslmann's men played two games less.

DID YOU KNOW?

Before the tournament, Southgate was linked with the Manchester United job. Since then, Erik ten Hag has signed a one-year extension and the 53-year-old's next move remains up in the air. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/gareth-southgate-must-walk-away-england-new-direction-glorious-failure-euro-2024/blt97fcabab5bc40ce1" target="_blank">Should he leave England</a>, it will be interesting to see if any top clubs come in for Southgate's services.
