Southgate rules out England doco similar to Man City

England coach Gareth Southgate has ruled out ever participating in a fly-on-the-wall documentary like Manchester City's current season review.

Southgate admits he's watched the series.

“I have seen all of the City film, yes," he said.

“I enjoyed it as a piece of television and of course you are always looking for more tactical insight or what happens in training sessions.

“It was interesting to watch. And of course you had an insight into Pep's personality, which I have seen a little bit, having met him.

“But for a fan you'd see some of the players' ­personalities. So for them that would be more of a discovery than it was for me watching it. It was fun to watch but no, not a chance.

“In the World Cup we got our messages out. We put up with FA ­photographer Eddie Keogh's camera in our face all the time which captured some lovely memories for us.

“But a documentary isn't something I would be encouraging from an England perspective."
