He was appointed England manager in November 2016 after an interim spell in charge of the national team from September of the same year.

Southgate stepped up from his role as England under 21s manager following Sam Allardyce's departure after only 67 days at the helm of the men's senior side.

He made 57 appearances for England and has put smiles on the faces of Three Lions fans with two semi final appearances in two major tournaments - World Cup 2018 and Euro 2020.

He took a 30% pay cut for an initial three months as the FA looked to make considerable savings due to financial losses incurred due to the Covid pandemic in 2020.

How does it compare to other England managers?

Southgate's £3m salary is about par for England managers of late, with Allardyce and Roy Hodgson both agreeing the same when appointed national team manager.

Yet that figure is some way below the highs foreign managers Sven Goran-Eriksson and Fabio Capello earned when in the England hot seat in the early 2000s.

Erikssen, England's first foreign coach, was paid £4.5m a year with his successor, former Real Madrid and AC Milan manager Capello, taking home £6m a year.

How does it compare to Premier League managers?

Southgate's annual England salary doesn't come close to the highest earners in the Premier League, with Man City's Pep Guardiola topping the charts with a staggering £20m a year.

Jurgen Klopp takes home £15m a year at Liverpool, Marcelo Bielsa earns £8m a year at Leeds United, and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is on £7.5m a year at Man United, according to reports.

Brendan Rodgers is said to be on £5m at Leicester City and Sean Dyce £3.6m a year at Burnley.
