Andy Cole fears for next England manager after criticism of Gareth SouthgateBy Mark Walker, PA SportFormer England striker Andy Cole says he fears for the next England manager and believes that some of the criticism of Gareth Southgate during Euro 2024 was unfair. The 53-year-old came in for heavy criticism from England fans and pundits following a series of disappointing displays, but Cole has defended Southgate’s record as head coach. “We can always have a go at the manager and say, ‘he’s this and he’s that’, but he’s been the most successful manager in 58 years, so he can’t be that bad. “The team who won it won seven games out of seven, so does that not say they are the best team? “I think the fans’ support for the ‘legends’ games is unbelievable.”:: Tickets for the Manchester United Legends v Celtic Legends match on September 7 are available from tickets.manutd.com
