Gareth Southgate became England's interim manager after the sacking of Sam Allardyce and he has done a good job. The FA has credited Southgate for stabilising the team quickly, dealing with Wayne Rooney's problems and showing decisiveness in his professional actions.
The FA had previously said they would decide Southgate's future after four matches, but they could shorten the process. Specifically, if England beat Scotland in the 2018 World Cup qualifiers in Europe on November 12, the 46-year-old coach would be given an official contract.
The clash with Scotland will be Southgate’s third game in charge. In the past two games, the Three Lions have won one and drawn one to maintain their lead at the top of Group F.
Talking about Southgate's case, midfielder Jordan Henderson also supported the new coach to take charge of the England national team for a long time, and affirmed that the whole team is very united even though the Three Lions have changed two captains in just a short time.
