'I'm just realistic and focused' - Southgate shrugs off 'pointless' England contract talk

FA chief executive Mark Bullingham has said fresh terms will be awarded regardless of results at Euro 2020, but the manager's focus is on the present

Gareth Southgate has been promised a new contract as England manager, but the Three Lions boss considers that debate "pointless" as he takes aim at the quarter-finals of Euro 2020.

The 50-year-old has been England coach since succeeding Sam Allardyce on an initial interim basis in September 2016.

Runs to the semi-finals of the 2018 World Cup and UEFA Nations League have been overseen, but Souithgate is aware he remains one bad result from the chop.
