On June 24, England captain Harry Kane spoke out in support of manager Gareth Southgate during an interview, asserting that he remains the best-suited candidate to lead the national team.
Kane praised Southgate: “Without a doubt, Southgate is the ideal man for the England job. Everything he has done for the team cannot be overstated. He excels in attention to detail, ensuring nothing is overlooked and every player knows their role on the pitch.”
Continuing, Kane acknowledged the challenging nature of the position: “Managing the England team is a tough assignment, something everyone understands. There will always be criticism and skepticism directed at Southgate, but his track record of success speaks volumes. We’re heading in the right direction. He consistently makes decisions and choices that benefit the national team, and my job is to fully back him.”
Stating his unwavering support, Kane clarified that recent performances in the first two group matches would not shake his confidence in the team.
