Southgate will be hoping that he can guide England to glory at Euro 2024Credit: GettyThe Three Lions came agonisingly close to going all the way at Euro 2020 as they were pipped to the post in a penalty shootout against Italy at Wembley Stadium.
But with England’s star players boasting an additional four years of top-level experience together, they’ll be hoping to finish the job this time around.
Including England’s three group stage fixtures, they’ll need to come through a total of seven fixtures in Germany if they’re to claim Euro 2024 glory.
However, in doing so, Southgate’s side will need to overcome the challenge of Europe’s top footballing nations.
