In an interview with Sky Sports on December 14, former England coach Allardyce spoke about the views of the Three Lions coach. He said that the idea of rehiring a foreign coach is "unacceptable" Yes, he said that he does not think the English soccer team will let Southgate leave.
Allardyce had this to say, "No, it's not possible, there are enough qualified head coaches in this country, we have enough English coaches, we can find the right candidate. As the women's soccer team won the tournament under a Dutch coach, I can see where the debate is coming from. But if you don't go for an English coach, it's detrimental to us considering what we have."
Allardyce told Southgate: "When you've been through enough, the pressure is enough and you want to experience something different without the constant pressure, especially in the Championship. You continue in that role for a limited time depending on how successful you are and how good your team is. I think this team is good enough for him to win the Europa League in 2024."
"I don't think the FA will let him leave, I certainly don't think so."
