Jamie Carragher acknowledges that the fact that England coach Gareth Southgate was not linked to the recent vacancies at Everton and Tottenham Hotspur shows that he is ideal for international play.
The 50-year-old has led the Three Lions to their first European Championship final on Sunday, where they will face Italy at Wembley, but suffered relegation from the Premier League in his sole managerial role in club football with Middlesbrough in 2009.
HITC quotes Carragher as telling Sky Sports: “With Gareth Southgate, he feels perfectly suited to international football and the England team.
“Tottenham and Everton, two of the biggest clubs in the country, had no coach at the time. And no one would link Gareth Southgate to that job.
