GARETH SOUTHGATE has announced his next career move - and it's not a job in football. The 54-year-old stepped down from his role as England manager following the Euro 2024 final last July. He is yet to accept another full-time job in football but has been taking up some temporary roles. Southgate is a technical observer for Uefa and recently became a visiting lecturer at Harvard Business School. But now he is set for a completely new challenge - writing a book.

The former England manager's new book is set to focus on leadership. It is expected to feature some of the lessons he learned while guiding the Three Lions to successive European Championship finals. Southgate's book is titled 'Dear England' and is scheduled to be released in October. The ex-England boss said: "After stepping down as England manager following eight very special years, I’ve been reflecting on what I have lived through and what comes next.
"Coaching top players and playing against some of the best teams in the world pushed me to operate at the highest level in football. CASINO SPECIAL - BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITS. "Rather than write a memoir of those times I decided to share my experiences in a different way, through the lens of leadership which I hope will provide lessons for anyone who wants to discover their own authentic leadership style.".
Publishing director Ben Brusey went on to add: "Just as Gareth inspired the nation with his England leadership, every page of his book will inspire readers with his characteristic sense of purpose, honesty, resilience and integrity. "This will be a landmark leadership book, which I know will be enjoyed by readers for years to come.". Southgate received a knighthood in the New Year's Honours list at the start of 2025.
