text: England fans may come to regret Southgate’s exit, claims Tom Heaton
  Manchester United goalkeeper was coach at Euro 2024‘He’s changed the feel of it. Changed the expectation’
  Tom Heaton believes some fans may regret Gareth Southgate’s resignation, with the goalkeeper who was part of the coaching staff at Euro 2024 stating that people may come to regard the outgoing England manager as having done an “incredible job”.
  In eight years in charge, Southgate led England to the 2018 World Cup semi-finals and the quarter-finals four years later, and to the finals of Euro 2020 and Euro 2024. Yet uneven form at the last of these caused a sizeable constituency of supporters to vent their ire, with Southgate drawing particularly fierce abuse. Two days after England’s 2-1 defeat by Spain, Southgate announced his resignation. The Manchester United keeper was asked if some fans may come to rue this.
