English FA confident Southgate will commit to Euro2024

The English FA expect Gareth Southgate to commit to the 2024 Euros.

The Telegraph says they are confident Southgate will stay on as England manager following his team's World Cup exit.

Southgate is mulling over his future and will have showdown talks with the FA in January. The Three Lions boss, who has been in charge since September 2016, has two years remaining on his existing deal - with the Euros in Germany just 18 months away.

Some critics have called for Southgate to step down after England's failure to win the World Cup, but that would be problematic for the FA because there is no obvious favourite to succeed him. His exit would force the FA to draw up an unwanted shortlist.

Southgate has 'sparked positivity' within the FA that he'll stay on as England boss. It's claimed sources close to Southgate believe his demeanour during the World Cup would suggest that he's not ready to give up the gig.
