The 56-year-old has been out of management since resigning as Three Lions boss after guiding them to the final of Euro 2024, where they lost to Spain.

Southgate, who also took England to the Euro 2020 final, has not managed at club level since a three-year spell with Middlesbrough from 2006.

When asked if he would consider a return to managing in the Premier League, he told The Amol Rajan Connection podcast: “I don’t see a scenario where I do that.”

He added: “Towards the end of my time with England, I stopped enjoying, at the very least for a period, the wins keep you going.

“By the end, I didn’t even enjoy the wins for any longer than a couple of minutes. So, I’ve hardly watched football.

“I went to the FA Cup final to see my team, Crystal Palace, win their first trophy. I’ve not been to a football ground since. So my sort of desire to be involved in football has changed.”
