England coach Gareth Southgate has agreed terms on a new contract.
The Daily Mail says former Aston Villa defender Southgate has agreed a deal with the FA to extend his stay as national team head coach.
The governing body have made no secret of their desire to sign Southgate to a contract extension, chief executive Mark Bullingham admitting over the summer that it was their intention to offer the 51-year-old a new deal.
Southgate's current contract expires after the World Cup but there is a will from both parties to extend that until Euro 2024. An agreement in principle has been reached, with the situation expected to move quickly once England have secured World Cup qualification.
Southgate earns £3million a year, but he can expect a sharp pay rise taking him beyond the £5m mark with bonuses if targets are met.
