Former England manager Gareth Southgate says he does not see himself returning to club management in the Premier League.

The 56-year-old has been out of management since resigning as Three Lions boss after guiding them to the Euro 2024 final, 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 whether he would consider returning 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 it; 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."

Since leaving the England role, Southgate has also spent time working in the media, and earlier this year he fronted a BBC documentary where he travelled across the UK to understand challenges facing young men and boys.

He has also spent time as a visiting lecturer at Harvard Business School in Boston.

"I've loved the last 18 months of my life," he added.

"I've had 37 years where my sense of self depended on whether I won or lost on Saturday. And actually I've loved having different experiences. I've met politicians, I've met people in the media industry, I have learned about leadership in all sorts of areas, I've travelled around the world learning things.

"I've just enjoyed playing a different film in my life."

'No winners' in Manchester City charges

Last month, Manchester City were found guilty of the majority of charges relating to breaches of the Premier League's financial regulations between the 2009-10 and 2017-18 seasons.

An independent commission found that, during that time period, the club arranged "sham contracts" as well as "relying on sham agreements to artificially inflate the club's revenues and reduce its costs".

The club have denied any wrongdoing and submitted an appeal on 2 October.

"There'll be the tribal fans' response to punish Manchester City as much as we can, relegate them, fine them, do whatever you can," added Southgate.

"I've been in football boardrooms, I've been in meetings with Uefa, I've been in meetings with Fifa, I have been in all these spaces and I know how complicated all of this is.

"My underlying thought is none of this is good for football and there are no winners because if you're at the Premier League, for a very brief moment you might feel justified that all the flak you've had for this case taking so long, this is why it's taken so long and there's the verdict, and I'm sure there's an element of justification in that.

"Then there's this realisation of how do we deal with all of this because you know the possibility of all the different legal cases that emerge from this, how long this could still take, what's the right sort of punishment, how do you keep the whole game on track?

"That's unbelievably complex."
