England’s drive towards Euro 2024 qualification got off to a positive start in 2023 with key wins over Italy and Ukraine in March.
Gareth Southgate’s decision to remain as Three Lions boss, on the back of their 2022 World Cup exit, has maintained consistency in the squad as Germany 2024 becomes the next big target in the diary.
A December World Cup in 2022 has impacted the international schedule in 2023, with all eight qualifiers fitted into a compacted eight-month campaign, with 21 of the 24 final qualifiers for Euro 2024 confirmed before the end of 2023.
Southgate will be confident of leading England to a fourth major tournament within his tenure, but the pressure is on the former defender to deliver a trophy, for the first time since 1966.
