How Gareth Southgate FIXED England! | Explained

► SUBSCRIBE to FOOTBALL DAILY: bit.ly/fdsubscribe
When Gareth Southgate took on the role of England manager in 2016, the national team was at one of its lowest points. They had exited that summer’s European Championships in humiliating fashion at the hands of Iceland, taking the country’s wait for a victory in a tournament knock-out game to ten years, and had just seen Roy Hodgson’s replacement Sam Allardyce leave his post after one match following allegations of improper conduct.
Almost five years later, and he has surpassed the expectations of many who doubted his appointment, becoming the first Three Lions manager since Alf Ramsey to lead the side to consecutive semi-finals at major tournaments, taking them to a first major final since 1966, and blooding a new generation of talent which has not only reinvigorated fans’ support in the team by delivering on the pitch, but also become excellent role models with their actions away from it. But how did such a seemingly unspectacular manager end up changing the culture of the England national team? Let’s find out.

[@sparkyroots369]

I'm not into football! So i only found out this week that he was manager - I'd love to see him complete the circle from 96, i'm weirdly emotional watching all the documentaries to get myself up to date. But most of all, i think uk footie fans deserve this win. I remember his penalty in 96 - i left some tupperware on a hob ring that was switched on and was fanning the smoke out the window when he made the miss. A psychology undergrad then, I wondered what his future would look like, whither or thrive? Seems he is a lion after all. When i watch national matches we always lose - so i wont be watching tomorrow!

[@DavidBee101]

I understood the fears over Southgate up until 2018, but I thought their performance in the World Cup should have silenced most of the doubters, especially given the amount of promising youngsters that were beginning to break through. Glad to see him finally getting the recognition he deserves.

[@jcgaming908]

[@carlybishop6160]

I watched this video 3 months ago and have just come back to it to say thank you! :) It has led me down a very interesting rabbit hole. I love that this video finally mentions what Southgate did prior to 2016. It feels like that iceberg anology is very relevant here and it is a pity that most people are not aware of his influence across the whole FA with his and Brooking's 10 Year Plan. Two days before the Euros final Sir Trevor Brooking discussed this plan more openly than ever before, so maybe it will start coming out in the open soon enough. Not only is Gareth Southgate arguably the best Manager England has ever had in creating such a turn around, but I think it can be easily argued that he is probably the most influential individual in the history of the FA.

[@Wooderz245]

To bring the England squad back from the brink in the way he has and the time he has, you could easily make the claim that Southgate is the best England manager ever. 10 years ago, l players with the abilities of Jadon Sancho, Jack Grealish and Phil Foden would have been furious about their lack of playing time at this tournament, but Southgate has galvanised them and they all see themselves as a integral part of the overall project. Whether they win the final or not, the England side have turned a corner and should all be treated as heroes by the fans.

[@carlybishop6160]

Just come back to this video having done some more research into the FA and what Gareth Southgate has been doing behind the scenes. I think you are right. I think he could be described as the best Manager. Sir Alf Ramsey may have got similar results and changed the role of the England Manager to a more encompassing role but the competition so little in comparison. I mean, yes, we reached the semi-final of the Euros in 1968 but that literally just getting out of the group stage back then. And there was far less pressure, politics, and negative history to way the team down. I love this video as it is the first to mention what Southgate had changed even prior to 2016. Most forget or don't realise that these changes didn't start when he took the role in 2016 but has been part of effectively a 12 year plan reforming every part of the England set up from the grass roots and coaching up the mentality of the senior team and relationship with the media.

[@cpfc9321]

Idc if he wins a trophy or not he is the best manager England’s ever had

[@jamiemckell34]

How did he do it? For 2 main reasons.. In short; 1. He came in a generation where English talent enjoyed exponential improvement and the best resources, coaches and youth facilities in the world. 2. His squad over the last 5 years has been coached on a daily basis by some of the best (& forward thinking) managers in the world. Klopp, Guardiola, Pochettino, Mourinho, Conte & more. Southgate has a good team, and they have been smart enough to adopt the coaching and culture of the top coaches that the players have at club level

[@dislecsyk991]

I remember my first reaction to him getting the job was "Well lets at least give him a chance, the FA know who they've appointed", and I also remember seeing his first squad and liking what I saw. He was clearly interested in moving the national team forwards. I wouldn't say I've never doubted him. Like anyone, I questioned some of his team selections in this tournament, I've wondered if he's tactically flexible enough, and our performances in the run up to the tournament were hardly inspiring. With that said though, what he's proved to be during WC 2018 and Euro 2020 is a poised leader and a fantastic man manager, who is brave enough to make big decisions and stand by his convictions, whilst also being humble enough to know his limitations and take advice from those around him. And the thing about being England manager is that having that humility along with the resources available, means he's been able to surround himself with all the right people to fill in the gaps in his knowledge. It's also very clear just how much the job means to him, and how important it is to him that England are successful. That interview after the Germany game, when he was asked about 96, was raw, heartbreaking and ultimately endearing. I want England to win, of course, but I want it for Southgate too. Couldn't ask for anyone better, to be honest. If we win tomorrow, he goes down as an absolute legend and hero, along with all of those players. If we lose, then so be it, but I hope that doesn't take any of the gloss off the job he's done, or the man he's been.

In addition I think there is a factor people don't talk about. 8 out the 16 RICHEST clubs in Europe are English. EAch of these clubs has serious aspirations to play in Europe. You can register 25 player for your squad 4 must be home grown at the club and a total of 8 must be home grown in the country. All of these kids can play for England. With changing youth development and sports science you can now train a promising young player to be faster, stronger, fitter, more technical and a better football mind usinging tried and true methods. You don't have to wait and hope. Decent players become good, good players great and great players world class. With 8 clubs each searching for 8 english players to be, at the very least useful squad players they can register for europe that means Southgate has at least 64 quality players to pick from. Remember the premier league probably has more clubs that are better than their national team than the rest of the serious footballing world has put together. Every other major league in europe has one (or in the case of spain two) teams winning the league 7 out of the 10 last years. With the premier league having twice the tv deal of any other league and a flatter distribution than any other major league you have a situation where half of the richest clubs in europe are desperately trying to find and develop 8 players that can play for england. Until the balance of world football changes England will have a continuing stream of great young players, like Foden, Mount, Rice, Alexander-Arnold ect. giving the team consistent quality and depth unmatched by any other country. Southgate has brought cohesion and at this point all you need to win a big tournament is a little bit of luck. I also think that the promotion of Southgate from within and his focust on building Team England as an institution which is bigger than any manager mean that an England run by a 'civil service' guided by a manager who is more of a boring CEO than an exciting genius will be competetive in all future tournaments.

[@gudmundursteinar]

With this in mind, if England are going to continue the tradition that has been created they will appoint the current U21 manager as their next England manager when Southgate retires.

[@carlybishop6160]

@@gudmundursteinar They should do. That was part of the England DNA and was very controversial at the time. However, now that all of the what seemed like overly ambitious aims of the England DNA and the Brooking/Southgate 10 year plan seem to coming to fruition, I am surprised they aren't trying to find someone to take the job now in preparation. I mean, they have literally taken their word as gospel and with the England DNA now being rolled out to all Level 1 coaching certificates for ages 5 to 11 years old, I am surprised this is an area that is overlooked... unless, they don't see Southgate going for years and it is therefore too early.

[@kimbirch1202]

From 40 years of watching England, it is obvious that English football is in a far better state now than since 1966. The senior men's team have been to two semi finals , and the final of WCs and Euros. The U21 team won the last Euros Final, and the women won the last Euros Final. This is the result of a revolution in philosophy, training methods, grass roots development , youth academies, which Gareth has played in a major role in developing. His haters are plain ignorant and silly.

[@larmikaan3952]

Southgate did not fix England. Danny Desmond Makkelie, the referree for England vs Denmark game fixed England.

[@jinyaotan1140]

To be fair Pickford performed decently despite being abit error prone and this is reflected by the amount of clean sheets in euro 2020. I think England doesn't rly have much talent in the goalkeeping department either. Pope would have prob been our no 1 if it wasn't for injury. If Dean Henderson is given more game time next season he might become the reliable keeper we need by the time the world cup 2022 arrives.

[@YuvaSimha]

@@jinyaotan1140 yes I agree he's very good. He exceeded my expectations actually. But against strong attacking teams like Brazil, which has both technique and pace, pickford can be erratic. This is what I feel but he may prove me wrong though

[@dislecsyk991]

I've never been worried about Pickford, until the semi final of this tournament. I don't remember him ever making a mistake in an England shirt before that, but then he made two or three big ones in that game, and his distribution really let him down. I hope someone gets hold of him and calms him down before tomorrow. I kind of agree with DM being an issue, but Rice and Phillips are both young and really inexperienced and will get better.

@@marcuswarren4447 Germany are a team with no defence, Croatia’s best players are now 32+, Denmark don’t have a single player who would make the England team other than Schmeichel. We should be beating all 3.

Oh come on, he has took us to a final,and you have to beat who is in front of us

[@user-xf4ls5el1w]

Oh come on not this bs again

[@lollol9772]

@@dios.9586 most teams who get to a final have easy games. No one plays amazing teams every single game. Germany are a great team and you saying they have no defense is just stupid, croatia’s side being old doesn’t mean anything there still very good, and denmark are very good side who outplayed belgium and have lost two games since september 2018.

IN YOUR OWN WORDS FD Not big enough for the task at hand 😭 Favoured conservative approach 😭 Just as good a listener as a speaker 😭 We can't make all the decisions from the sidelines 😭

I love these English based teams and national teams vids

And he bottled it at final lol. Made some stupid decision, and let a 19 years old take the 5th penalty

[@jorgearantes3689]

my fotball manager experience tells me to dont do that ?? does he ever play ???

[@yoshiwoollyworld]

Alongside subbing on two players so they could miss penalties

[@jonahthrane812]

I still sometimes think he isn't the best tactician. But his bonding methods, and man management brings out the best in the players he has, and they are good. And with having a great team of analysts, it could only help. No one can say Southgate is bad. But I haven't seen him display tactical brilliance yet.

[@neronicmoment797]

I doubted him even in this tournament. Even after the first 3 games. Now I've learnt that his tactics yet boring were in fact the correct way to go. Even Gareth admitted that himself. Good on him for ignoring us supporters who thought we knew better.

Without this man our team would be nothing With him we have a very big presance
