Gareth Southgate sidestepped questions about his future as England boss following his side's 2-1 defeat to Spain in the Euro 2024 final on Sunday.

In an engrossing encounter, Spain took the lead early in the second half through a fine Nico Williams goal from inside the box before substitute Cole Palmer drew England level with a stunning strike from distance. With the game looking poised for extra-time, Spain regained the lead through Mikel Oyarzabal's close-range finish in the 86th minute to seal a fourth Euros title in their history.

"I don't think now is a time to make a decision like that. I'm going to talk the right people and yeah, it's just not for now," Southgate said in his post-match interview when asked about his future.
