'What it meant to the country' - Gareth Southgate reveals Harry...

- Southgate departed his position as England national team coach in July, following the Three Lions’ loss to Spain in the Euro 2024 final. Despite failing to win a single international tournament with England, the 54-year-old was regarded as the most successful Three Lions coach since Sir Alf Ramsey.

Southgate took over as England coach after a terrible period for the national team, but he guided the Three Lions to a number of significant victories, including two consecutive Euro finals and deep runs in two World Cups. He has now revealed his favourite moment as manager, recalling their 2-1 victory against Denmark in the Euro 2020 semi-finals, in which Harry Kane scored the goal in extra time.
Speaking to Lauren Laverne on BBC Radio 4’s Desert Island Discs, Southgate said: “My favourite moment as England boss? Definitely, beating Denmark in the semi-final at Wembley.

“We won both semi-finals in dramatic games – Holland in the last Euros and Denmark in the previous one – but the feeling of being in the first final in 55 years and making history meant a lot to people and the country. Not only in the stadium that night, but also in the days leading up to the final.”
- After Erik ten Hag’s departure earlier this year, the 54-year-old was connected with a move to Manchester United. However, he has announced that he will not return to coaching until the end of the season as he fulfills his duties as a technical observer for UEFA.
