FIFA World Cup: Gareth Southgate uncertain of his role after England's exit

England manager Gareth Southgate is uncertain about his future with the English football team following the team’s quarterfinal exit from the FIFA World Cup. England were eliminated from the World Cup on Saturday by France, and Southgate has hinted he needs time and space to make the best decision possible going forward. “These tournaments take a lot out of you, and I need time to reflect. We’ve done that after every tournament and that’s the right thing to do. “I don’t want to be four, five months down the line thinking I’ve made the wrong call. It’s too important for everybody to get that wrong,” said Southgate as quoted by Sky Sports.The English football boss has never concealed his desire to return to club management and has expressed his yearning to join a big Champions League club in either England or Europe if he were to leave the head coach’s post.
