Southgate adopts an open-minded approach as he prepares for managerial duties to resume

The former coach of the English national team stepped down from his position after the conclusion of Euro 2024, in which England was defeated in the final by Spain.

Southgate has routinely been linked to the Manchester United job since new owners INEOS took control of sporting matters.

"I've got lots of opportunities, I'm very open-minded to what's next," Southgate told . 

"That might be in football, that might be outside of football. I'm just going to take some time, refresh, recharge and go from there.

"I think at the moment people know that I need to get my energy back. I am intent on enjoying my life, I'm not going to rush into anything.

"I want to make sure that I make good decisions. There are lots of different experiences that I am enjoying. I have got some charities that I want to support that are very important to me."
