Southgate revealed his professional trends for the first time a year after resigning as head coach of England. Although he has not returned to the coaching seat so far, he still has many things to deal with.
Southgate admitted that he has been enjoying a slow-paced life after leaving England. He is not only committed to coaching young players and new generation coaches, but also running personal business projects. The 53-year-old coach told the Sun: "I enjoy my current life very much and like this different rhythm. I am busy completing a book about leadership, operating multiple business investments, and providing mentor guidance for young coaches."
"I invested a lot of energy to pay attention to the growth of young men. Young people in our country are facing difficulties such as disorientation and lack of opportunities. I usually play golf and board tennis. What's wrong with this kind of life?"
When asked whether to return to football, he said: "There is no concept at all and I am not actively seeking coaching opportunities. However, when I left Middlesbrough 15 years ago, I didn't take the initiative to find a job. Later, the opportunity came to my door, which led to the development."
