'We can all learn from Southgate & Holland'

Stoke City boss Steven Schumacher says Gareth Southgate and Steve Holland have left him and football's other young English bosses a real legacy to learn from.

The 40-year-old Potters head coach has made a successful start to club management, having won promotion from League One with Plymouth Argyle, then righting a sinking ship at the Bet365 Stadium to keep Stoke in the Championship.

But, although disappointed, like any English football fan, at his country's failure to get over the line in the Euro 2024 final in Berlin on Sunday night, he still believes Southgate - and his number two Holland - have had an inspirational effect.
