England coach Southgate offered massive new contract

England coach Gareth Southgate is set to be offered a new contract by the FA.

The Sun says he is being offered a double-your-money £6million-a-year salary to extend his England contract.

The Three Lions boss will lead the country at the Qatar World Cup next year.

But the FA fear he will not agree a deal beyond that because he could be looking at a return to the Premier League.

Full talks are set to start following the final two World Cup qualifiers, at home to Albania tonight followed by a trip to San Marino on Monday.

FA chief executive Mark Bullingham announced during the Euros he wanted former Aston Villa and Crystal Palace defender Southgate to extend.

But the 51-year-old has been adamant that he will not discuss the offer until England have qualified.
