A big bonus awaits Gareth Southgate

DBasia.news – Gareth Southgate can certainly still lead the England national team to play in the 2022 World Cup. In fact, a big bonus is waiting for him to be able to lead the Three Lions to the championship ladder.

Southgate’s position had been rocked along with the poor performance of the England national team in the UEFA Nations League. Harry Maguire and his team had to accept the reality of being relegated from the highest caste.

The failure made Southgate’s ability doubted. Many people believe England’s chances of winning the 2022 World Cup are closed if they are still handled by the same people.

But the English Football Federation (FA) in fact still provides full support to the coach. Southgate’s achievements in the last two major tournaments cannot be ruled out.

According to the Daily Mail report, the FA has determined the bonus Southgate will receive if he is able to present the World Cup trophy. The amount reached 4 million pounds.

This amount is in fact three times greater than what the FA promised at the 2018 World Cup. At that time Southgate had the opportunity to receive 1.5 million pounds if England were able to become champions.

In the end, Southgate failed to meet that target. England’s steps halted in the semifinals after being defeated by Croatia.

At the 2022 World Cup, England were in Group B. They will compete with Iran, the United States and Wales for a ticket to the knockout phase.

Poor performances in the last few months have made England unfovored to become champion candidates. However, this condition would possibly make Southgate’s team appear more loose and reverse predictions.
