'''Sir Gareth Southgate''' (born 3 September 1970) is an English former professional [[Association football|football]] manager and player, who played as a [[Defender (association football)|defender]] and [[midfielder]].

A [[Crystal Palace F.C.|Crystal Palace]] [[Crystal Palace F.C. Under-21s and Academy|academy graduate]], Southgate made his senior debut for the club in 1990, and was appointed [[Captain (association football)|club captain]] in 1993, winning the [[Football League First Division|First Division]] championship that season (1993–94). Having made over 150 appearances for Palace, he was signed by [[Aston Villa F.C.|Aston Villa]] in 1995, winning the [[EFL Cup|League Cup]] in [[1995–96 Football League Cup|1996]] and reaching the [[2000 FA Cup final]], before departing for [[Middlesbrough F.C.|Middlesbrough]], where he was appointed captain in 2002 and won another League Cup in [[2003–04 Football League Cup|2004]], as well as reaching the [[2006 UEFA Cup final]]. Internationally, Southgate made 57 appearances for the England team between 1995 and 2004. He played every game of England's campaign in [[UEFA Euro 1996]], though his penalty miss sent England out in the semi-final; he also featured in both the [[1998 FIFA World Cup]] and [[UEFA Euro 2000]]. He retired in 2006 at the age of 35, having made more than 500 league appearances across his three clubs.

Immediately following his retirement, Southgate was appointed manager of Middlesbrough, staying in the role until his dismissal in 2009. He also managed the [[England national under-21 football team|England under-21 team]] from 2013 to 2016, before succeeding [[Sam Allardyce]] as the senior team's manager in 2016. He led England to the [[2018 FIFA World Cup]] semi-finals, the [[UEFA Euro 2020 final]], the [[2022 FIFA World Cup]] quarter-finals, and the [[UEFA Euro 2024 final]]. In 2018 and 2021 he won the [[BBC Sports Personality of the Year Coach Award]].

====2008–09 season: Relegation and dismissal====
The pre-season build-up ahead of the [[2008–09 Middlesbrough F.C. season|2008–09 season]] was disappointing for the club.

Middlesbrough's Championship campaign started strongly, putting them in contention for an immediate return to the Premier League. However, on 20 October 2009, shortly after a 2–0 victory over [[Derby County F.C.|Derby County]] and with the club in fourth place, Southgate was dismissed as manager.
