Gareth Southgate speaks about the scandalous start of his work with the England national team.

Difficult Beginning for Garthfield

According to The Sun: Gareth Southgate, the head coach of the England national team, spoke about the difficulties he faced at the beginning of his career in this position. Particularly memorable was the situation when Wayne Rooney seemed to 'crash' a wedding.

Southgate, who is 55 years old, first became the acting head coach of the 'Three Lions' after the scandalous dismissal of Sam Allardyce in 2016. In his book titled Dear England: he details the challenges he had to overcome at the start.

“I had to find ways to deal with new challenges and keep the team calm,” notes Southgate.

Despite the awkward situations that occurred at the beginning of his coaching career, Southgate managed to find common ground with the team and gradually restore trust in himself as a coach. His ability to adapt to difficult circumstances and maintain team spirit provided a new impetus for the national team. Gradually, the 'Three Lions' began to show better results on the international stage, which confirms the importance of his approach and strategy.
