Gareth Southgate signs a new three-year England contract that could see him earn around £5m-a-year as he targets World Cup glory in Qatar after suffering heartbreak in the final of Euro 2020

  • England manager Gareth Southgate is now a FA director on a 3-year contract
  • Three Lions manager, David Smith, saw his team reach the 2022 World Cup finals last week.
  • England has reached at least the semifinals in the two most recent major tournaments.
  • Southgate plans to take Qatar one step further after Euro 2020’s final defeat 











Gareth Southgate has signed a new three-year contract as England manager that will take him beyond the next European Championships in the summer of 2024.

Southgate, the England’s most successful manager since Sir Alf Ramsey (1966) was rewarded for leading the team to the Euro 2020 finals this summer.

The 51-year-old currently earns £3m a year but his deal includes a significant increase on that figure. It is thought he will now earn in the region of £5m a year if performance bonuses are yet.

Southgate, in his five-year career as coach, has led England to the World Cup semifinals in Russia 2018 and July’s Euros final versus Italy at Wembley. 

In summer 2019, he also led England to victory in the inaugural Nations League.
