Gareth Southgate has been appointed as England manager on a four-year deal.
Southgate, 46, stepped up from his role as England Under-21s manager in September following Sam Allardyce’s departure after only 67 days in charge.
He oversaw two wins and two draws as interim boss and has signed a contract reportedly worth up to £2m a year.
Southgate then went undefeated over four games in the Three Lions’ dugout, earning two wins and two draws, including a 3-0 win over Scotland and 2-2 draw against Spain.
“I am extremely proud to be appointed England manager. However, I’m also conscious that getting the job is one thing, now I want to do the job successfully,” he said in a statement on the FA’s website.
“I’ve thoroughly enjoyed working with the players over these past four games and I think there’s huge potential. I’m determined to give everything I have to give the country a team that they’re proud of and one that they’re going to enjoy watching play and develop. For me, the hard work starts now.”
FA chief executive Martin Glenn expressed his faith that Southgate is the right man for the task, stating: “We are delighted to confirm Gareth as England manager.
“He’s obviously somebody we know well but it’s his understanding of international football and the development set-up at St. George’s Park that is important.
“He performed extremely well during the four games he was in temporary charge and he impressed us during a tough interview process.
“Gareth is a great ambassador for what the FA stands for, he’s a very good football tactician and a leader but beneath that he’s a winner and that’s an important part of the job.”
Southgate’s first match as permanent manager will come in March 2017 in a friendly against Germany, before they take on Lithuania in a World Cup qualifier.
