GARETH SOUTHGATE RESISTS BREAK CLAUSE
23/11/16
The FA's desire to insert a break clause in Gareth Southgate’s England contract is the biggest hurdle to overcome in the on-going negotiations between the two parties, according to Sky sources.
Southgate was interviewed for three hours at St George’s Park on Monday by the FA’s five-man selection panel, which included Chairman Greg Clarke, chief executive Martin Glenn and Technical Director Dan Ashworth.
With no other candidates are expected to be interviewed, the belief is that Southgate will become England’s next permanent manager, however, negotiations over the finer details of Southgate’s contract are on-going with some issues yet to be resolved – and the insertion of a break clause said to be the biggest point of contention at this stage.
