England coach Southgate: I won't stay if we're not progressing

England coach Gareth Southgate insists he won't outstay his welcome in the job.

Southgate recently signed a contract that runs to 2024 and says he would not think twice about stepping down if he felt he had taken the team as far as he could.

He said: "I've got to manage in the way I see fit. Don't get me wrong, I sense where the room is with it. I won't outstay my welcome but I think I can do a good job for the team — and I think we've done a good job for the team.

"We will continue to improve the team, which we have done over a consistent period of time.

"We're also developing young players as well that will leave England in a good place for a long period to come."
