Following the defeat of England to Italy on Friday, England coach, Gareth Southgate has insisted that he is the right man to guide the Three Lions to the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.
The defeat relegated the England team to League B of the UEFA Nations League.
Many English fans have roundly criticised what they labeled the Three Lions’ poor showing in that defeat to Italy, including former England international, Chris Sutton’s berating of Southgate’s team’s capability of winning the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.
However, Southgate maintained that he is the right man to guide the Three Lions to 2022 FIFA World Cup glory
According to him, “Look I think that’s currently where it is and I have to accept that. I think I’m the right person to take the team into the tournament. I think it’s more stable that way without a doubt.”
“I don’t think [the] performance [against Italy] was far off and I know that’s going to get derision just because we’re on the back of a run of defeats.”
“But I’ve got to separate the circumstances around the summer from [this match].”
England is in Group B at the 2022 World Cup with Wales, Iran, and the USA.
England is one of two teams to have won the FIFA World Cup just once on home soil in 1966.
