Sports World News of Thursday, 1 December 2016Source: BBCSouthgate eyes England Euros redemptionGareth Southgate played 57 times for England, but missed a crucial penalty at Euro 96New England manager Gareth Southgate says his side have the potential to give him closure by winning the European Championship in 2020. Southgate, whose position was confirmed on a four-year deal on Wednesday, missed a penalty at Wembley in hosts England's semi-final shootout defeat by eventual champions Germany at Euro 96. Former defender Southgate, who made 57 appearances for England as a player, becomes the fourth permanent manager of the national team in as many years. He strode a similarly comfortable path to the 2014 World Cup in Brazil and yet England did not make it out of the group stage. It is a pattern Southgate is charged with changing - and he must do it by summer 2018.
