Gareth Southgate’s secret weapon ‘Helix’ and the key message to England players

Thinking it was over after Qatar When the chartered Virgin Atlantic plane, named “Rain Bow”, took off from Doha the day after England were knocked out of the World Cup in the quarter-finals by France, the general mood was sombre and clear: it was over for Gareth Southgate. FA technical director John McDermott would later tell the story of sitting on the steps at the Al Bayt Stadium with France captain Hugo Lloris, whom he knew from working with him at Tottenham Hotspur, and who admitted: “Wow, we were on the rocks there.” Within a week, as Telegraph Sport revealed, Southgate had decided to stay and go again for the 2024 European Championship. That stemmed back, in particular, to England’s disappointing Nations League campaign the previous summer and certainly the hostility following the embarrassing 4-0 home defeat by Hungary at Molineux that unnerved Southgate to such an extent he was asking himself whether he was now the problem rather than the solution. In the end his mood lifted far more quickly after talking to his family back in North Yorkshire with a relieved FA able to confirm his decision a week after the World Cup loss.
