Trent Alexander-Arnold has taken to Instagram following Gareth Southgate’s resignation as England manager this morning.
Approximately 36 hours after the final whistle in the Three Lions’ defeat to Spain in the final of Euro 2024, the 53-year-old confirmed that it’d be his last game in charge of his country after almost eight years in charge.
All of the Liverpool vice-captain’s 29 senior caps have been earned under the ex-Middlesbrough boss, and after the news of the latter’s departure from the national job was confirmed, our number 66 made his feelings clear via social media.
Trent shared a post from the England team’s official Instagram account to his story, featuring a graphic of some of the highlights of Southgate’s reign and the three-word message ‘Thank you, Gareth’.

While the now former Three Lions manager could’ve made far better use of the Reds maestro at Euro 2024, it’s evident from the 25-year-old’s social media activity that he holds him in high esteem.
We’d like to think that Southgate’s replacement will do likewise with the Liverpool star, whenever that appointment is confirmed.

South gate made far too many errors of judgement for most of his tenure with the England job .his team selections and mid placed loyalty were ever present in Germany. To even say that England were missing Phillips was pure stupidity on the whole England set up. He’s gone fine, now go and get a reputable English Irish welsh or Scottish manager. There are many in abundance within our grasp. Make us proud again.
