Gareth Southgate gives huge update on Man United job stance amid Michael Carrick form

Published

3 weeks ago

on

Gareth Southgate has been out of management since stopping being England manager after losing the 2024 European Championship final to Spain almost two years ago

Gareth Southgate will not become Manchester United’s next manager because the former England boss has removed himself from consideration after saying he has ‘no passion’ to work in the Premier League at present.

Southgate has not managed since stepping down as England boss in July 2024, following defeat in the European Championship final. The 55-year-old has concentrated on business interests and is preparing to present a television programme.

Despite being linked as a candidate to take over as next Manchester United manager, Southgate confirmed he is not contemplating an imminent return to management. Speaking on The Football Boardroom podcast, he said: “I’ve got no passion just to go and manage in the Premier League.

“I did that at 35, I finished 11th, 12th. Who is in those positions now, probably Bournemouth, Brighton (and Hove Albion)?

“I’ve had one of the biggest jobs in world football, so I’ve been spoiled – huge nights, working with outstanding players. No owner interfering.”

The former Middlesbrough manager was linked to the United position following Ruben Amorim’s dismissal last month. Michael Carrick has been appointed on an interim basis until the season’s conclusion, with United bringing in Steve Holland, Southgate’s assistant during his England tenure, as one of Carrick’s coaching staff. Nevertheless, he and Holland will not be working together at Old Trafford.

Southgate also recognised the criticism he would face if a club like United selected him, given some view his England spell as unsuccessful. He added: “The bit that, externally, people are saying is, ‘well, he didn’t win’. So, how do you prove that you can win? You’ve got to go to one of those big clubs.

“Now we know those big clubs… do I think I could have done the job that some people who have been in those clubs recently have done? Could I do better? I think I could.

“But we’ve talked about the baggage that comes with me as an appointment if you’re an owner. And there’s a reality around [that], I can understand what that noise is. There’s that bit which makes me potentially a complicated appointment for a club.”

Southgate then confirmed: “I don’t want to go and manage a different national team. Club? It’s honestly not what I’m looking to do. Now, two years after leaving England, I’m not actively looking for a role in coaching.

“If that European final was the bit [in coaching], I wouldn’t worry about that, because there is another 15-20 years of my life ahead of me and I’m excited about a different video, a different movie, a different part of my life.”

Coco Gauff rallies to win for 2nd straight day at Miami Open

Coco Gauff rallied from dropping the first set to beat fellow American Alycia Parks 3-6, 6-0, 6-1 to advance into the Round of 16 in the Miami Open on Saturday in Miami Gardens, Fla.

It was the second straight day that the fourth-seeded Gauff dropped the first set but came back to win the match. She saved 14 of 16 break-point chances she faced, including all 10 over the adverse final two sets, which were a tougher battle than the scoreline indicates.

Parks won 49% of her service points and 40% of her return points, with both competitors finishing with eight double faults.

“It was really difficult,” Gauff said after her win. “She was playing really well and she’s one of those people who’s hit or miss sometimes. So, you’re stuck in the fine line of being aggressive but also maybe just making her play. … The second and third (sets), I just tried to be aggressive when I could. I made some adjustments on the return and I think that made a difference.”

It was largely a day without upsets in Miami, with only a pair of seeded competitors falling to unseeded foes.

Australia’s Talia Gibson knocked off 16th-seeded Naomi Osaka of Japan 7-5, 6-4 in second-round competition. Osaka had 13 aces to one double fault but was unable to break Gibson, failing in all four opportunities she had. Gibson managed a break in each set, at 5-5 in Set 1 and in the opening game of Set 2, winning 69% of her service points and just 33% of her return points to build off reaching the Indian Wells quarterfinals earlier this month.

“I was able to draw on some experiences from Indian Wells to stay calm,” Gibson said. “It’s been really cool to see what I am capable of, and it’s really exciting for me.”

In Round of 32 action, Romania’s Sorana Cirstea eliminated No. 21 Elise Mertens of Belgium 6-3, 6-2, setting herself up as Gauff’s next opponent with a quarterfinal spot up for grabs.

In other third-round action, No. 6 Amanda Anisimova, No. 8 Mirra Andreeva of Russia, No. 10 Victoria Mboko of Canada, No. 12 Belinda Bencic of Switzerland, No. 13 Karolina Muchova of the Czech Republic and No. 31 Alexandra Eala of the Philippines all advanced to the Round of 16 with straight-set victories.

In Round of 64 action on Saturday, a trio of seeded Americans in No. 5 Jessica Pegula (the runner-up last year in Miami), No. 15 Madison Keys and No. 18 Iva Jovic advanced with minimal resistance. Pegula won via second-set retirement but was up 6-1, 3-0 and appeared poised to close out the match in the near future.

An unseeded American, Sloane Stephens, had less success in the Round of 64, falling to No. 23 Qinwen Zheng 6-3, 6-2.

In one of only two three-set matches of the day, Canadian 26th seed Leylah Fernandez outlasted Russia’s Oksana Selekhmeteva 7-6 (1), 3-6, 6-1 in a two-hour, 25-minute battle. Fernandez next faces Pegula for a spot in the fourth round.

Jon Jones: “I’ll pay them double what the UFC offered”

It appears Eddie Hearn would have been game to make Tom Aspinall vs. Jon Jones, were they not under contract with the UFC. Not only that, the Matchroom Boxing chairman says he’d have happily paid both fighters double what the UFC would’ve offered them.

While Jones never entertained a title unification with Aspinall, during his tenure as the heavyweight champion, a prominent narrative was that the bout never materialized because Dana White and the UFC failed to match the New Yorker’s financial demands.

Hearn’s Matchroom Talent Agency now represents Aspinall and recently slammed the world’s premier MMA promotion over the Brit’s contract, which he deems unfair.

Speaking with ProBoxingFans following this weekend’s Matchroom Boxing card, Hearn said:

“They [Jones and Aspinall] are under contract. If they weren’t under contract, I could do Aspinall against Jon Jones, and I’ll pay them double what the UFC offered them, probably.”

Hearn then went on to insist that the headliners around whom the cards are built deserve a bigger share of the revenue in general:

“If you do Tom Aspinall against [Alex] Pereira for the world heavyweight championship, respect the guy, will you? If there is $100 million in the pot, don’t give me a million. He is the defending champion. It’s a joke. They are going to have to do something. They are in a bad, bad situation at the moment.”

Check out Eddie Hearn’s comments on Tom Aspinall vs. Jon Jones below:

Aspinall was forced into a hiatus from MMA after suffering debilitating eye pokes from Ciryl Gane at UFC 321 in October. After multiple surgical procedures, the UFC heavyweight champion finally returned to training earlier this week.

Gane is scheduled to face Alex Pereira for the interim heavyweight title at UFC Freedom 250 in June. The winner of the fight is expected to be Aspinall’s comeback opponent.
