The former England boss has been out of work since leaving the Three Lions despite links to Man Utd.
Former England manager Gareth Southgate has hinted that he is in no rush to return to management, despite links with Manchester United. The 55-year-old has been without a job since leaving the Three Lions last summer.
Speaking to BBC Breakfast, he said: “I had an amazing time, obviously the great thing with England is that there’s this higher purpose. I joined the FA to try to help English football become better, to help youth development in particular. I somehow stumbled and ended up in the first team manager’s job and we had a pretty good period.
“I’m not desperate to stay in football, I’ve had 37 years in football which is amazing.”
When it was asked if there was a big job available, he responded with: “Well you can never say never because I’ve just seen Martin O’Neill at his age go to Celtic. But it’s not something that’s high on my agenda at the moment, I’m enjoying the work around leadership, I’m enjoying my work with young people, very determined to try and make a difference there.
“And so no, I’m very relaxed about not being in football at the moment.”
