LONDON (Reuters) - England manager Gareth Southgate has ended any speculation about his future by signing a new contract through to the end of 2024, the Football Association (FA) announced on Monday.

Since being handed the job on a full-time basis in 2016, the former England international has revitalised the nation's fortunes, taking them to the 2018 World Cup semi-finals and the final of European Championship this year.

"I am delighted that Steve and I have been able to extend our stay in our respective roles," Southgate said. He was seen as a safe pair of hands when Sam Allardyce left his post after only 67 days, and after impressing the FA hierarchy during a short spell as interim manager, he was handed a four-year contract at the end of 2016.

Southgate, famed for his smart waistcoats, united the nation behind the England team at the Russia World Cup in 2018, taking them to the semi-finals where they were beaten by Croatia.
