Former England manager Sven-Goran Eriksson has named Gareth Southgate’s Three Lions favourites to beat Luis De La Fuente’s Spain in the Euro 2024 final on Sunday, July 14.
Both teams defeated top footballing nations including France and Netherlands to get to this stage.
Eriksson said he wants Southgate to do it for him [Eriksson], referring to his inability to win the Euros with England when he managed it in Euro 2004.
“Gareth, do it [win Euro 2024] for me, Sir Bobby, and England,” Eriksson told The Telegraph.
“The job of England manager brings with it a beautiful pressure. Gareth is certainly the best English coach since Sir Alf. Win in Berlin on Sunday and I believe he should be considered better.
“Now he, his players, and the entire nation must know England can win. If you believe in something, it can happen, and that includes beating Spain in the final.”
