(Reuters) - Gareth Southgate contemplated resigning as England manager following criticism ahead of last year's World Cup despite leading his team to the 2018 World Cup semi-finals and the Euro 2020 final.

England struggled before arriving in Qatar and were booed after losing 4-0 at home to Hungary in the Nations League in June.

"I never want to be in a position where my presence is affecting the team in a negative way," he told BBC Sport on Thursday."The last thing you want as a coach is for your presence to be divisive and inhibit performance." Southgate led England to the World Cup quarter-finals in Qatar where they lost to France and the manager wanted to be sure after the tournament that staying on was the right thing to do.

In December, the Football Association announced the coach signed a new contract through to the end of 2024.
