Gareth Southgate did not rule out continuing as England coach until the 2026 World Cup and said on Thursday he would evaluate his future after this summer's European Championship.
Southgate, who has coached England since 2016, has a contract with the English Football Association until December this year.

“There's a good chance that half the managers won't be here after the European Championship. That's international football,” Southgate said after Thursday's UEFA Nations League draw in Paris.
“You have to see how the summer goes, it's as simple as that. I know what we are capable of achieving in the summer, I know what my own benchmark of success would be, after that I'm not really sure thinking about anything else.
“We have to give a performance and we have to make the best decisions for everyone. I won't be in a position to make that decision before the tournament.”
The 53-year-old is England's most successful manager since 1966 World Cup winner Sir Alf Ramsey, and guided his country to the final of Euro 2020 and the semi-finals of the 2018 World Cup.
However, he considered resigning after England's defeat to France in the quarter-finals of the 2022 World Cup before opting to remain in charge until Euro 2024.
England will face Slovenia, Denmark and Serbia in Group C of the European Championship this summer.
Thursday's Nations League draw put England in a group with the Republic of Ireland, Finland and Greece. This is England's first appearance in League B following their relegation from the top flight in the last edition of the competition.
