Sad that it ended for Southgate without winning a trophy. So close. But it was difficult for many of us not to question his decisions. Whoever comes in to take over has a big challenge because we have lost someone who at least seemingly knows how to advance further in tournaments. I suppose the one advantage that the new coach will have is that he will have opportunity to be familiar with the players and experiment with formations during the upcoming UEFA Nations League B in few months and try to win that. It may seem to be a meaningless tournament to some. But a great opportunity for the new manager and the players to take seriously and to establish new sense of understanding and better teamwork before the World Cup. Just my own theory.
