Sir Gareth Southgate said he was “not missing” managing England after receiving his knighthood from the Prince of Wales.

Sir Gareth Southgate says he does not miss being England manager and claims he felt the ‘weight’ of the job on a daily basis. Southgate spent nearly eight years in charge of England and stepped aside last summer after his team were beaten by Spain in the Euro 2024 final.

Sir Gareth Southgate has received a knighthood from Prince William for his services to football, but declined to comment on England's current World Cup prospects when questioned about the matter. The former England manager was honoured at an investiture ceremony where he was asked to assess the national squad's chances at the upcoming tournament.
