[Saba Sports News] In the recently concluded European Championship, England started with a 1-0 victory over Serbia, with coach Gareth Southgate leading them to set a remarkable new record. He guided England to win 8 consecutive matches in the European Championship, remaining unbeaten in regular time games—marking a historic achievement as the first English coach to do so. Despite England’s strong performance under Southgate, their best result under his leadership remains as European Championship runners-up. Southgate aims to secure victory in this tournament for England’s return. Previously, Roy Hodgson led England to an unbeaten run of 90 minutes in seven consecutive matches during the 2012 and 2016 European Championships, a streak ended by a loss to Iceland. Additionally, Southgate’s 96th match coaching the England team surpassed Bobby Robson’s record, placing him as the third-most capped coach in England’s history.
