England National Team Head-Coach Gareth Southgate set to be offered a bumper £6 million wage contract amid rumors of Premier League return: 12 years after he was sacked from his only club job at Middlesbrough many rumors are once again doing the rounds in the press that the former Middlesbrough manager is once again looking to get back in club management after his current contract with the National Team expires at the end of the 2022 FIFA World Cup in December.
On his current deal, Southgate reportedly earns £2.5 million after he signed a 4-year contract extension on the back of the 2018 FIFA World Cup, which saw the 3 Lions make the Semi-Finals. His initial contract in 2016 saw him earn a modest wage of just £1.8 million.

According to reports, the England Football Association is planning to offer Gareth Southgate a contract extension until 2024, which will see him manage the 3 Lions atleast until the next UEFA European Championships which is scheduled to be held in Germany. The extension if it goes through, will see the former Crystal Palace man earn a salary of £6 million (nearly double of what he earns now), highest in the history of England’s national team alongside former manager Fabio Capello.
