When Gareth Southgate took on the role of England manager in 2016, the national team was at one of its lowest points. They had exited that summer’s European Championships in humiliating fashion at the hands of Iceland, taking the country’s wait for a victory in a tournament knock-out game to ten years, and had just seen Roy Hodgson’s replacement Sam Allardyce leave his post after one match following allegations of improper conduct.
Almost five years later, and he has surpassed the expectations of many who doubted his appointment, becoming the first Three Lions manager since Alf Ramsey to lead the side to consecutive semi-finals at major tournaments, taking them to a first major final since 1966, and blooding a new generation of talent which has not only reinvigorated fans’ support in the team by delivering on the pitch, but also become excellent role models with their actions away from it.
