Football: Southgate don’t fear England job

Author: Agencies

LONDON: Gareth Southgate has declared he would not be afraid to take on the England manager’s job on a permanent basis when his four-game stint as interim head coach ends. Southgate was installed following Sam Allardyce’s abrupt departure in September and Friday’s 3-0 win over Scotland in World Cup qualifying left him with two wins and one draw from his first three games. The England job is one of the most high-profile roles in world football, obliging incumbents to deal with sky-high expectations, a huge degree of personal scrutiny and an impatient press pack. But when asked if there was any part of him that feared the job, Southgate replied: “No, is the answer.”
