Former boss Sven-Goran Eriksson has sent a touching message to ahead of the final against Spain. As Southgate leads the Three Lions into their second major final during his tenure, Eriksson, who recently opened up about his battle with pancreatic cancer and being given "about a year" to live, has offered his support. Despite his health battles and being honoured by various clubs, the 76-year-old remains focused on the national team's success, : "Sunday's final will be an open game, and I think England have a big, big chance.
" The Three Lions are among the favourites to win this summer's Euro 2024 tournament and you can get your hands on the brand new Nike and kits before the first whistle. From £84.99 Eriksson, who managed England from 2001 to 2006, added: "And while I have not been feeling well over the past week or so, I will be watching the game from home.
I would love to see England win. "So would every one of the managers who has tried and failed to win a major trophy since 1966. Come on, Gareth.
Do what we never could." Southgate's track record includes leading England to the semi-finals of the 2018 , the final of Euro 2020, the quarter-finals of the 2022 World Cup, and now another shot at glory in the Euro 2024 final, reports . Eriksson has praised the 53-year-old for handling the pressure that comes with being England manager better than any of Sir Alf Ramsey's successors in the past six decades.
"The job of England manager brings with it a beautiful pressure," Eriks.
