Gareth Southgate, the coach who led the England national team to unprecedented heights, may extend his contract in the near future. According to "Sky Sports," the English FA wants to continue seeing the 51-year-old strategist at the helm of the national team. However, the Englishman himself has not made a decision about his future and revealed that he will discuss his future with football association officials in the coming weeks. "I have already mentioned that I asked the association leaders to postpone negotiations for a new contract. Now I want to focus on the World Cup qualifiers and then make the most appropriate decision. After the European Championship, I felt a huge fatigue, so I want to make sure that the decision made will be the best for both me and the team," G. Southgate said in an interview with "Sky Sports." The current contract of the England national team's coach will expire after the 2022 World Cup.
