Gareth Southgate Under Pressure to Deliver Euro 2024 Glory

Southgate's Contract and Salary

Gareth Southgate is facing mounting pressure to lead England to victory at Euro 2024. The manager's current contract runs until the end of 2026, with a basic salary believed to be in the region of £4,990,000 per year. This makes Southgate the second-highest-paid head coach in world football.

Previous Contracts and Pay Increases

Southgate's previous contract was worth around £3 million per year. However, it is understood that he has earned a significant increase as part of his new deal. According to reports, Southgate now takes home £5-6 million annually.

Pressure to Succeed

The increased salary reflects the high expectations placed on Southgate. England reached the semi-finals of the 2018 World Cup and the final of Euro 2020 under his management. Southgate's task now is to lead the team to its first major trophy since 1966.

Euro 2024 Preparations

Southgate is already planning for Euro 2024, which will be held in Germany. England has been drawn in Group D, alongside Italy, Ukraine, and North Macedonia. The tournament will provide Southgate with a chance to prove that he is the right man to lead England to glory.
