England coach Southgate hints he's ready to pen new deal

England coach Gareth Southgate has hinted he's ready to sign a new deal.

FA chiefs have offered Southgate a double-your-money deal of £6million a year to extend his reign until Euro 2024.

When asked if it would be hard to walk away from his exciting squad, Southgate said: “There aren't a huge number of jobs out there and being the manager of England is a massive privilege so of course I take that responsibility really responsibly.

“It means a lot to me to be in the position I am.

“As a manager you want to work with good players. You can challenge them in a different way."
