Gareth Southgate’s overall record as England manager is fantastic but beating the biggest and best nations has proven difficult. That is not the sign of a top manager and is something Erik ten Hag can relate to at Manchester United, who should look elsewhere.
Qualifying campaigns have been a doddle, mind-numbingly dull, and pointless with the former Middlesbrough manager at the helm, which is perfect for a team like England, who expect zero struggles in qualifying groups that for them really should be formalities. Euro 2024 is different from the 2022 and 2018 World Cups and Euro 2020. England should be deemed as the favourites alongside France, who are arguably the only superior squad to Southgate’s, boasting world-class stars such as Kylian Mbappe and Antoine Griezmann.
Again, the more recent World Cup draw handed the Three Lions a relatively simple group, finishing top ahead of the United States, Iran and Wales. The failure to win a trophy with another possible ‘Golden Generation’ is going to be a dark cloud hovering over Southgate’s career, and in fairness, should probably rule him out of the running for the Manchester United job.Ratcliffe’s apparent desire to sack Ten Hag will come from a lack of identity on the pitch and like England under Southgate, the Dutchman’s failure to beat their biggest rivals.
