Gareth Southgate retired from football in 2006 when he began coaching at Middlesbrough in the Championship. Middlesbrough struggled on the brink of relegation after a 12006-12009 record, languishing in 13th place in their first two seasons from 2006-2009, and a 30% win rate in their third year. Despite his mediocre results in charge of a professional team, he won the support of English fans at the time, which stemmed from the context of the time. before the 'Phonegate Incident' broke out in 2006 in Yiwu Liga, Yiwu Liga had the name of the 'Small World Cup', and players were regularly exported to the major leagues. At that time, foreign aid was still an unfamiliar concept to local fans, and he was the first person to emphasize on local players 'Conservatives'. But since then he has set his sights on the national team's youth system, with players such as Adam Johnson, Stewart Downing and others becoming England internationals under Southgate's promotion, providing local players with the opportunity to play in the Premier League. His insistence on rebuilding the structure of the team in the face of a shortage of resources kept him at Middlesbrough for three years. Although he didn't achieve anything, he was unanimously recognized as a star national team coach by the English ball world. The reputation he left behind after leaving Middlesbrough also gave him new opportunities.
In 2010, South Africa's top 16 in the world were completely overwhelmed by Germany, and the golden generation of the Three Lions corps ended in failure. In the same year, the strength and soccer skills of Spain and Germany seemed to leave England more than 50 years behind. The general manager of English soccer learned from the pain and began to reform. Today, Southgate has been asked by the General Manager of Football to become the head of the Elite Football Program, thanks to his reforming performance at Middlesbrough. At the time, he brought a number of recommendations to the youth training system, such as banning players under the age of 14 from playing in 11-a-side matches, with the goal of producing more all-rounders.Southgate wanted to break the stereotype that skinny bodies can't become professional players.
To use a more accessible expression, Gareth Although the 'private sector' did not shine in Southgate, it had a good work rate in the 'public sector'.In 2013, he became the coach of the U21 national team, kicking his way into the U21 European national team. During his tenure, he made a good impression on the President of English soccer, but it was not enough to convince the President of English soccer to appoint him as the coach of the English national team.Watford, a city from North West London, as an Englishman coaching the U21 national team 'geography', six years of contributing to the national team has enabled it to build up 'human resources', and the next step, the only thing he needs to wait for is the "Timing".
What, exactly, is this former European power in David? Where should we go in the golden age after Beckham? They've also embraced reform. The question is who will be the right candidate. The Swedish saints of the past - Göran Eriksson, Fabio in Italy Capello are undoubtedly the world's top coaches. They both took over the Three Lions but they both failed because they could not control the atmosphere in the dressing room and could not establish a good relationship with the English media.In 2016, France's Three Lions of Europe were beaten by Iceland 2 in the top 16:1.Eliminated, the nation was outraged and the sacking of the then head coach Roy Hodgson was inevitable, but at the same time they were in a very depressed state. As well as a lack of power, their mentality was weak and they largely stayed off the pitch. These English gentlemen were defeated by the internal atmosphere and external opinion.
The rebuilding of the Three Lions was designed to remove these barriers, the then director of English soccer Dan Ashworth repeatedly emphasized that the next national team coach had to be English or an English coach, David moyes and Brendan Rodgers had been a popular candidate but each was politely rejected due to personal considerations and that left Gareth. "Southgate" and "Big Sam" (Sam Allardyce). In the end, England chose the experienced Sam Allardyce, but after just one game, the BBC revealed a document stating that he and his son were suspected of recovering commissions in player transfer deals. Two of the players' agents pointed to under-the-table deals through his son, and in the end Sam Allardyce was fired after just over 60 days as the national team's head coach. After the scandal of elimination and change of coach, they appointed southgate as an interim coach until the national team found a suitable candidate. After four matches and two training sessions, they had two wins, two losses and results. Among them, a friendly match in Spain with a score of 4-3 lineup followed the Spanish "battleship" kicks and 2: this does not prohibit the English to begin to reflect that the most suitable candidate for the coach, perhaps, appeared a long time ago.
