I Only Want To Coach A Big Club In The EPL – Gareth Southgate

Former England manager Gareth Southgate has said that he is only interested in coaching one of the big English Premier League clubs. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, he doesn’t feel the need to manage just any EPL team because, as a former England manager, he has already tasted what clinching a top job feels like.

Southgate added that after failing to win a major trophy with the England national team, only a top EPL job can help him right that wrong.

His words, “I’ve got no passion to just go and manage in the Premier League. I did that at 35, I finished 11th, 12th. Who is in those positions now, probably Bournemouth, Brighton?

So I don’t feel the need to just go and do it to say I’ve managed in the Premier League.

I’ve had one of the biggest jobs in world football so I’ve been spoiled. Huge nights, working with outstanding players. No owner interfering.

The bit that, externally, people are saying is, ‘well, he didn’t win.’ So how do you prove that you can win? You’ve got to one of those big clubs.

Now we know those big clubs … do I think I could have done the job that some people who have been in those clubs recently have done? Could I do better? I think I could.

But we’ve talked about the baggage that comes with me as an appointment if you’re an owner.

And there’s a reality around [that], I can understand what that noise is. There’s that bit which makes me potentially a complicated appointment for a club.

I’m not actively looking for a role in coaching If that European final was the last bit, I wouldn’t worry about that.”

WOW.
