Assistant
While Gareth South
gate has received much praise throughout the Euros, his right-hand man has kept quiet in the background – but assistant manager Steve Holland is England’s secret weapon on the training pitch and on the sidelines.
The 51-year-old’s sports career is a footnote in his life after retiring at the age of 21 to go into coaching.
Holland joined Crewe a year later where he worked under Dario Grady, who had coached his new mentor as a youth.
Crewe’s academy has produced a number of players who have gone on to play in the Premier League, including Dean Ashton, Seth Johnson and Danny Murphy, who laid the foundation for a successful career for Hollande.
Eventually, Hollande replaced Grady as manager of the club in 2007 after completing his UEFA Pro licence. It was hard to follow the club’s most successful manager in its history after 24 years in charge, but Hollande accepted the challenge and tried to turn things around despite Grady remaining at the club as technical director.

He also managed the England under-21 team from 2013 to 2016, before becoming the England national team manager in 2016, succeeding Sam Allardyce. In his first tournament as manager of England, the 2018 FIFA World Cup, Southgate became the third manager (after Alf Ramsey and Bobby Robson) to reach a World Cup semi-final with an England team, which won him BBC Sports Personality of the Year . Coach Award. At UEFA Euro 2020, he became the first England manager to reach the final of the European Championship and the final of any major tournament since 1966; England eventually lost to Italy in a penalty shootout.

Edit Aston Villa

Southgate played in every Premier League game during the 1998–99 season. He continued to play for Villa in the 1999–2000 season as Villa reached the FA Cup final, but submitted a transfer request just before Euro 2000, claiming that “if I want to achieve that in my career, it is time to move on.
