What is Gareth Southgate’s salary with England? This is a widely asked question as the England manager prepares for his third major tournament at the helm of the Three Lions.
Gareth Southgate Net Worth
According to SurpriseSports, Gareth Southgate has a net worth of £16m, a figure that has increased during his tenure as England manager.
Working his way from a player to coach has brought a heap of recognition, guiding The Three Lions through three major tournaments.
His time as a player was a fruitful period for the Englishman, as he played over a decade in the top-flight and earned a spot in the national side.
Gareth Southgate England Salary
The England manager is reportedly earning a staggering salary of £5m (The Guardian), which makes him the highest paid coach in international football.
This comes after the Englishman signed a new-deal in November 2021, which runs until the end of Euro 2024 and his future after that remains in doubt.
Earning £5m a year puts Southgate above, Didier Deschamps, Gerardo Martino and Ronald Koeman – despite not winning a trophy as England manager.
However, the 53-year-old is still earning far less than the Premier League elite, with Pep Guardiola reportedly accumulating £20m a year.
Gareth Southgate Brings Hope Back To England
Under Gareth Southgate’s reign, England have reconnected with supporters and have been moments away from international success.
Taking the reigns in November 2016, Southgate came in at a time where the England national team was at an all-time low.
The Three Lions had been knocked out of Euro 2016 in humiliating fashion, losing to Iceland in the round of 16 and did not look close to winning an international tournament.
However, in Southgate’s first international tournament, the 2018 World Cup, England reached the semi-final of the competition.
Beating Colombia and Sweden in the knockout stages, after progressing from a group with Panama, Tunisia and Belgium – England faced Croatia in the semi-final.
Kieran Trippier gave Southgate’s men the lead in the opening stages with a delicious free-kick and England looked set to make their first World Cup final since 1966.
This dream came crashing down, as Ivan Perisic scored in the 68th minute and Mario Mandzukic sealed England’s fate with a 109th minute winner for Croatia.
Southagte would have the chance to go again in Euro 2021, as England looked to win the competition for the first time in the nations’ history.
Topping the group ahead of Croatia, Scotland and Czech Republic, England faced Germany in the round of 16 and clinched one of the biggest wins in Southgate’s tenure.
England then eased past Ukraine in the quarter final with a 4-0 victory and secured a late victory over Denmark in the semis – progressing to the final against Italy.
The stage was set at Wembley, one more win for Southgate to clinch international silverware and end a run of 55 years without success.
England started like they did in the 2018 World Cup semi final, as Luke Shaw scored in the opening minutes and gave the Three Lions a 1-0 lead in the final.
Italy began to dominate and found an equaliser early into the second-half, as Leonardo Bonucci bundled the ball home.
The nations couldn’t be split during the 120 minutes of football and a penalty shootout was in store. Marcus Rashford, Jadon Sancho and Bukayo Saka all missed from the spot – meaning Italy ran out victorious.
Fresh off the Euro heartbreak, England entered the 2022 World Cup in Qatar as one of the favourites to win the competiton – alongside France, Brazil and Argentina.
However a quarter final defeat to France, which saw Harry Kane miss from the spot, eliminated England from the competition.
These tournament runs, triumphs and woes, have given the nation hope once again and Gareth Southgate will go into Euro 2024 with a point to prove.
Garteh Southgate Playing Career
The England manager was once an international for his nation, picking up 57 caps and also had a stellar playing career.
Playing for Crystal Palace, Aston Villa and Middlesbrough in a career that spanned from 1988-2006, Southgate was one of the finest full-backs in England.
Southagte was involved in four major tournaments for England, playing in the 1996/2000 Euros and 1998/2002 World Cup.
The 53-year-old’s biggest moment in football came in 1996, as he missed his spot-kick in a penalty shootout against Germany in the Euros semi-final.
His only pieces of silverware came in 1996 and 2004, winning the League Cup with Aston Villa and Middlesbrough, respectively.
Gareth Southgate Previous Management Roles
Prior to his role as England manager, Gareth Southgate had attempted to become a coach at club level, taking the reigns at Premier League side, Middlesbrough from 2006-2009.
In the opening stages of his time at Middlesbrough, Southgate did not have a UEFA Pro Licence, meaning he could only be hired for an initial 12-weeks.
He was allowed to stay on further due to a special dispensation from the Premier League in November 2006 and Southgate went on to gain the required licence.
His last season at the club began with promise, moving them up to eighth in the table, however, a run of 14 matches without a win would see Middlesbrough be relegated.
Southgate vowed to promote Middlesbrough instantly, but in October 2009, he was relieved of his duties despite his fourth place position.
In 2013, Southgate was made manager of England U21 and after a three-year spell, he was promoted to the senior team manager.
Gareth Southgate Endorsements
The former Middlesbrough manager does not currently have any personal endorsements, as he continues to focus on his role as England boss.
However, during his playing career he was a part of a hilarious Pizza Hut advertisement, which poked fun at his penalty miss in 1996.
He does volunteer in a variety of charity work, most notably the Football Foundation, as Southgate is an ambassador for the orginisation that aims to build better sporting facilities across the country.
Although not a direct link, according to Goal.com, Gareth Soutghate’s infamous Marks & Spencer waistcoat saw a 35% increase in sales during the 2018 World Cup.
