After the disastrous start of the League of Nations in June, England coach Gareth Southgate on Tuesday received the support of his federation, whose president assured him of his “Trust”.
After two defeats to Germany և Italy և Hungary, including a historic 4-0 draw at home to Qatar five months before the World Cup in Southgate, Southgate found that his credit was tarnished by public opinion, which worshiped him from the final. then Euro-2021 և World Cup 2018 semi-final.
“We trust Gareth (…) եմ I think it’s possible. This is especially important as we approach the most important of all the tournaments. ”assured Debbie Hewitt, who took over the helm of the FA in January, according to the British PA.
The head of English football praised the “confrontation” and the sense of responsibility (which are the two qualities that I admire the most).
“He never shrugs, never sighs (…) this is what you expect from an English manager.”.
“It is refreshing to work with someone like that, because his appetite for learning (from bad experiences) is quite remarkable, quite unusual, regardless of origin.”– he continued, referring to his experience in the business world.
Mrs. Hewitt urged us not to forget the past quickly.
“Gareth is England’s most successful manager on the pitch in 55 years”he recalled.
“What people don’t see much of is Gareth Gathering, the culture he created. While Gareth was England manager, there was no pride in wearing the shirt. There was competition between the clubs, as we read. The football players did not agree “he assured.
“He changed everything from what you can imagine. I personally witnessed it.”Hewitt concluded.
