England coach Gareth Southgate insists he's the right man to leave the country at the World Cup.
England's 1-0 defeat on Friday night by a young Italy team, which did not even qualify for this winter's tournament in Qatar, relegated England to the second tier of the Nations League and marked their third loss in five games without a victory, making it their worst run since 2014.
But former Crystal Palace defender Southgate remained defiant in the face of such a run.
He said: "I think I'm the right person to take the team into the tournament. It's more stable that way, without a doubt. I don't think that the performance [against Italy] was far off and I know that will get derision just because we are on the back of a run of defeats."
