After leading England to four major tournaments and overseeing two EURO Finals and a World Cup semi-final appearance, Southgate has been awarded a knighthood, having previously been made an OBE in 2019, the FA said in a release.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Gareth left his position as Three Lions boss after almost eight years in charge earlier this year, following the UEFA EURO 2024 Final against Spain with a record of 102 games in charge with 61 wins, 24 draws and 17 defeats. This comes on top of his 57 caps and two goals for England as a player and 37 games in charge of England men\u2019s under-21s prior to his appointment as senior team manager.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cOn behalf of us all at the Football Association, I congratulate Sir Gareth on this richly-deserved honour. Throughout his career in the game as a player, coach and change-maker, he has embodied the best of English football,\" FA chair Debbie Hewitt said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
