:: The team suffered a second successive Euros final defeat after failing to beat Italy in 2021

England lost in the tournament's showpiece match for the second time in a row under Southgate after substitute Mikel Oyarzabal scored an 86th-minute goal to give Spain victory.

Southgate said he would discuss his future in charge of the national team after Sunday's 2-1 defeat by Spain in the Euro 2024 final left him once again trying to work out why glory had eluded his side.

With only the 1966 World Cup to their name as a major trophy, England have become a force in tournaments since Southgate took over the team at a low ebb in 2016.
