Sir Gareth Southgate has been knighted for his services to football, receiving the honour from the Prince of Wales at Windsor Castle. The 54-year-old former England manager led the Three Lions to the Euro 2020 and Euro 2024 finals, and the 2018 World Cup semi-final. Describing the moment as an “amazing honour,” he said he was more emotional than expected. Southgate, who stepped down after England’s 2-1 loss to Spain in the 2024 Euro final, reflected on breaking "so many barriers to winning." He becomes the fourth England manager to receive a knighthood, following Ramsey, Winterbottom and Robson. (PC: Sky News )
