Gareth Southgate<\/strong> is the new England manager after signing a four-year contract. More to follow.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Southgate has overseen England's last four games on an interim basis; beating Malta 2-0, drawing 0-0 with Slovenia, thumping Scotland 3-0, then drawing 2-2 with Spain.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Back in September Sam Allardyce sensationally left his post by mutual consent after just 67 days in the role. Allardyce had been appointed England manager in July 2016, with the veteran gaffer signing a two-year deal to take charge of his country.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

The former Sunderland, West Ham and Bolton boss, who succeeded Roy Hodgson, went on to win his first game in charge away to Slovakia but was forced to resign following a newspaper 'sting' which left his position untenable.<\/p>
