Gareth Southgate appears to have retired from football management after changing his profession on official documents from “football manager” to “company director”.<\/p>\n

The former England boss has made the change on papers for his property business, giving the clearest indication yet that his coaching career may be over.<\/p>\n

The 54-year-old has not returned to management since leaving the England job following last summer’s Euro 2024 final defeat to Spain.<\/p>\n

Instead, Southgate has been pursuing various other professional interests.<\/p>\n

Southgate’s last match in charge of England was the Euro 2024 final, where Spain defeated the Three Lions 2-1.<\/p>\n

After stepping down from the national team, he stated he would not return to a coaching role for at least a year.<\/p>\n

The Sun say that documents for MAS Investment Holdings Limited, which manages his \u00a36.2 million property portfolio, now list his profession as “company director” rather than “football manager”.<\/p>\n

Despite being linked with Premier League jobs, including Manchester United before they appointed Ruben Amorim, Southgate has opted for different career paths.<\/p>\n

The former defender, who lives in North Yorkshire with his wife Alison, has instead taken on several temporary roles.<\/p>\n

He currently serves as a technical observer for UEFA, European football’s governing body, which he’s also become a visiting lecturer at Harvard Business School in the United States.<\/p>\n

These appointments suggest he is focusing on broader aspects of sport and leadership rather than returning to the dugout.<\/p>\n

Additionally, Southgate is currently writing a self-help book focused on leadership principles.<\/p>\n

The publication is expected to draw on lessons he learned while guiding England to two consecutive European Championship finals.<\/p>\n
