England manager Gareth Southgate has resigned after a second consecutive European Championship final defeat.

The Three Lions lost 2-1 to Spain in Berlin on Sunday, having been beaten on penalties by Italy at Wembley three years ago.

The 53-year-old managed his country for 102 games in eight years in charge. His contract was set to expire later this year.

"As a proud Englishman, it has been the honour of my life to play for England and to manage England," said Southgate.

"It has meant everything to me, and I have given it my all.

"But it’s time for change, and for a new chapter."

Football Association chief executive Mark Bullingham said the process to appoint Southgate's successor has started and "we aim to have our new manager confirmed as soon as possible".

He added the FA "have an interim solution in place if it is needed" and will not comment further on the process until a new boss is appointed.

England's next match is against the Republic of Ireland in the Nations League on 7 September.

I believe Arsene Wenger could be an outside shout.

Heard someone today say they should get Klopp.

Their fans really do live in another world sometimes

They have no chance of getting Klopp. They’ve even been told by Newcastle that no way is Eddie Howe having the job.

Born Guessing may as well just apply as he's free at the moment and will guarantee it will never come home, so perfect for the role.

Can't see anyone doing much better than he has done. He's got them to two Euros finals and the rest is down to the players on the pitch & they were not great either time. Spain deserved the win this time & there's not many, including the majority of the deluded England fans who would say otherwise.
