Story summary

Former England manager Gareth Southgate, 56, says he does not see himself returning to manage a club in the Premier League. Southgate stepped down from his role as England's head coach after guiding the team to the final of Euro 2024, where they lost to Spain. He last managed at the club level with Middlesbrough from 2006 to 2009 and has since distanced himself from professional football. In a recent interview on *The Amol Rajan Connection*, Southgate stated, "I don't see a scenario where I do that," reflecting his current dissatisfaction with the sport's dynamics. He expressed that towards the end of his tenure with England, he no longer derived joy even from victories and has largely stopped watching football matches since resigning.
