Gareth Southgate has batted away questions about his England future after the Three Lions lost 2-1 to Spain in the Euro 2024 final.

The England manager, who for a second successive Euros has seen his team fall at the final hurdle, was asked in a post-match press conference whether he would take the side into the next World Cup in 2026.

But he said he wanted to discuss his future with FA bosses privately before announcing whether or not he would stay or go.

“It’s hard to reflect so soon after a defeat like this,” he said.

“To take England to two finals has never been done [in the men’s game].

“But we came here to win, and we haven’t been able to do that.”

Asked for his reflection on the tournament, he added: “The team have done the country proud.

“To reach the first final away from England and the second final in two tournaments is incredible really.

“But at the moment – in my head – none of that matters because we had an opportunity to win and we didn’t take it.”
