Gareth Southgate lands new job a month after resigning from England head coach
Gareth Southgate has landed a new role with UEFA less than two months after stepping down as England head coach, according to reports. The 53-year-old walked away from his former job after Euro 2024, bringing an end to his eight-year spell in charge of the national team.
Southgate has been linked with a handful of jobs over the last few months, even before it was revealed that he would be leaving England. He was mentioned in connection with Manchester United prior to Erik ten Hag signing a new and improved deal at Old Trafford.
It has now been reported that Southgate has accepted a role that will see him through until the end of the campaign. He will be attending matches as a UEFA technical observer with former West Ham United boss David Moyes joining him in the position, according to Henry Winter.

Roberto Martinez, who has worked as a UEFA technical observer in the past, told the governing body's official website: "Instead of just watching the game for a specific reason in my capacity as a national team coach, you are watching it in a more holistic way and appreciating the development of the game and the competition itself.

"It could be different types of performances, from young players, for example, or the way the competition is getting tougher physically and cuter tactically with the new trends within the competition."
A number of high-profile managers and former bosses were technical observers at Euro 2024, including the likes of Fabio Capello, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, Avram Grant, Aitor Karanka and Frank de Boer.
Southgate's decision to accept the UEFA role suggests that he is unlikely to return to management until at least the end of the current season. England are yet to confirm who will replace him as their next permanent boss, with Lee Carsley taking interim control until an appointment is made.
