Gareth Southgate says result of Euros final will not dictate his future as England boss

Gareth Southgate has said it is emotionally "impossible" for him to make a "logical decision at the moment" on whether to stay on as England manager - even if his team wins the Euros.

In an interview with Sky News ahead of Sunday's final with Spain in Berlin, Southgate insisted he had "improved the credibility" of English football - having felt hurt by criticism earlier in the tournament.

The England manager added that the last five or six weeks have been "an absolute rollercoaster" and the only thing he is focusing on right now is preparing his team for their upcoming match.

problem is if Spain scores 2 goals before half time England dont have the capacity to catch up

Gareth is Done even if England wins Final, against Slovakia, his team ineptitude is apparent, J. Bellingham 90+5 goal could have easily not taken place.

As far as some "pundits" are concerned, England can lose 0-5 to Spain on Sunday and these media people or ex-players will still praise Southgate as the best manager England has ever had simply because he took England to 2 consecutive Euro Finals. Southgate is already a god and can do no wrong in these people's (the FA included) eyes. Remaining trophy-less is not going to diminish his deity status. These pundits and ex-players are going to call for knighthood for him regardless of Sunday's performance and result.
On the other hand, for supporters who want nothing less than an England trophy, keeping Southgate beyond this Euro will be an absolute disaster.

Southgate has grown England from a team that always disappointed to one which is feared by every team round the world.

Spain and German match was a final game for me, England only has 10 percent chance of winning.

Just don't leave Kane on for 70 minutes, if he's done fuuq all! 🙄

We need to stop obsessing over Southgate. It will be the players that get remebered if they go on to win it.

I think he's made his decision, he's gone. I don't think he'll stay on even if we win. He'd be a good manager in Italy but his tactics lack the nous for English football.

I would quit either way tbh . Greece won it playing 💩I can hardly remember the year (m 2004 ish? ), it counts for nothing . Spain should win this comfortably, but who knows
