"time for change and a new chapter" — gareth southgate's words as he makes the decision to resign as england manager.
6:32 pm
i'm at wembley, where southgate said it's been the honour of his life. so, who will lead the england team into the 2026 world cup? the football association haven't ruled out a foreign manager. also coming up on sportsday — we're under way in the qualifiers for next year's women's euros. all the home nations in action as defending champions england look to seal an automatic place. and just over a week until the olympics, we'll be joining the cyclists and the former olympians hoping to tackle climate change on their ride to paris. hello there, and welcome along to sportsday. it was the honour of his life, a job which meant everything to him,
6:33 pm
to which he gave his all — the words of gareth southgate today following his resignation from the england manager'sjob, two days after the euro 2024 final defeat to spain. southgate had said after that defeat in berlin, that it was a privilege to manage the national side. but after coming up short in the euros at the final hurdle, for the second time in a row, southgate has decided it's time for a new chapter. katie gornall reports — and quick warning, some flash photography coming up. they say when one door closes, another one opens. this one happened almost by accident. eight years ago gareth southgate stepped into the void left unexpectedly by sam allardyce. england's humiliation against iceland still hung in the air and the challenge facing this inexperienced international manager was huge. i don't think anyjob is impossible. i think i said a few weeks ago that some jobs are more
6:34 pm
difficult than others, some are more complex. this is certainly one of those. true to his word, southgate went on to prove that this wasn't an impossible job. he changed the culture and the team. and then, in 2018, this happened — england won their first world cup penalty shoot—out. they would go out in the semi—finals to croatia, but southgate had made fans fall in love with the team again. these were the waistcoat years, and southgate was the one. sport and football in particular can really bring connection sport but football in particular can really bring connection for a country and it feels from what we're being told and the little bits that we're seeing that that is the case. at euro 2020, england beat germany on their way to reaching the final against italy. southgate was on the brink of leading england men to their first major trophy in 55 years. it ended in heartbreak. his tactics were questioned, and later his future, as in the build—up to the qatar world cup england the qatar world cup, england were humiliated 4—0 by hungary. the reaction from the stands was poisonous and had a profound effect.
6:35 pm
two years on, after some disappointing performances from his star—studded team at the euros, plastic beer cups were thrown at him. relations with the fans seemed strained to the point of breaking. but the england bandwagon kept rolling and their run to the final got many back onside. sunday's 2—1 defeat to spain in berlin would be southgate's final act as england manager. in a statement today, he said,... there will be questions whether southgate got the best from his talented team, but the numbers tell a story. in eight years, he took england to two finals and a semifinal, their most sustained period of tournament success. that could prove a tough act to follow. katie gornall, bbc news. well, let's get some more with our sports correspondent natalie pirks, who is at wembley for us.
6:36 pm
so, what were the factors that might have led southgate to arrive at this decision? i think it's been a long time coming and i think a lot of us who work in ward thought that this was going to happen —— sport. eight years is a really long time in football. not many managers get to dictate when and how they leave a job. but after the high of 2020, it started to feel a little bit like the relationship between fans and the media. it was a little bit strange, but you heard tactical questions. when england failed to sparkle in germany, we know southgate was wounded — not only by the fans, but also by pundits, who he knows personally, and felt that he —— that criticism. he talked about the unusual
6:37 pm
circumstances. we all said he wouldn't out state his welcome. now the fa have to work out who takes over from the most successful manager and englishman's history since �*66. they want someone and by the time they play again in september. they said they don't have someone and by then, they have an interim plan, and they want the best person for thejob. interim plan, and they want the best person for the job. that doesn't necessarily mean it will be in english person. that will be difficult because they can't limit themselves to and english manager. there are no english men who have won the premier league. the talent pass away is very much there for the next person. pass away is very much there for the next person-— natalie pirks there — and as you can imagine, after eight years and more than 100 games in charge, there's been much said about southgate's time as england boss on social media. jane dougalljoins me in the studio
6:38 pm
to talk through some of that sentiment. 0n the whole, the reaction seems to be largely positive. gavin, i think on a human level, people have a great deal of respect for the way he's conducted himself whilst in this position. that's been reflected on social media. let's start at the very top. prince william has tweeted. that sentiment has been echoed by some of the players, including jordan pickford. he said... former england player and bbc match of the day presenter gary lineker,
6:39 pm
who remember, was very critical of his tactics, said... and the prime minister, keir starmer, has said... don't forget, while he is led england, gareth southgate has seen six prime ministers in number 10 downing street. he really has been something of a figurehead for the fa. ., , ., y something of a figurehead for the fa. ., y ., y . —— thank you very much indeed. southgate made a huge difference to how the england men's side were reported on by the press, according to those who've followed the team at major tournaments. earlier, i spoke to football journalist henry winter, who's covered the team for several years, and he told me southgate leaves with his head held high,
6:40 pm
despite not winning a major trophy. he was a joy to deal with. the players seemed divided and the fans were certainly distant from the players. and then gareth came in and just rebuilt. the fear out of the shirts. he even got players working on penalties. i'v e i've criticised him over the years and he's very dignified. he's tougher than people realise, but he represented england as a player and as a manager. he represented the country superbly. in as a manager. he represented the country superbly-_ country superbly. in your opinion, from tracking _ country superbly. in your opinion, from tracking who _ country superbly. in your opinion,

6:42 pm
actually in dublin, so that will be an interesting reaction. obviously, graham potter, who absolutely would be a contention. for graham potter, who absolutely would be a contention.— be a contention. for southgate said it himself, he _ be a contention. for southgate said it himself, he might— be a contention. for southgate said it himself, he might be _ be a contention. for southgate said it himself, he might be leaving - it himself, he might be leaving a big job and club management. i don't think he's going to get an elite champions league job, i don't think he's going to get an elite champions leaguejob, but because the way he represents his club, he will absolutely be in demand. ifirst hope he has a break because he's been in the eye of the storm for eight years, and that can't be easy. i also hope he has retained his links with the football association. just on player development, just on coaching,
6:43 pm
because we discard the experience too easily. because we discard the experience too easil . , ~ it's a big evening of qualifiers for the women's euros with all the home nations in action all the games under way, and approaching half time, all the games under way, and approaching half—time, if not half—time already. there's a lot riding on england's game against sweden in gothenburg england, the defending champions, need just a point to qualify automatically for next year's tournament in switzerland. meanwhile, wales are taking on kosovo in llanelli — the score in that one currently 1—0 to the home side and jess fishlock got the goal to make history and become her nations all—time leading goalscorer. and keirsey hanson has put scotland in front against serbia. they looked to top their group. and these are the latest scores on your screen right now. you can of course keep up—to—date with all those games on the bbc sports website. what a welcome here for the french captain kylian mbappe, as fans packed out the bernabeu
6:44 pm
to see his unveiling as a real madrid player. it seals one of the most protracted transfer sagas, with the mbappe joining from ligue un champions paris saint germain — a dream come true for the 25—year—old. translation: this day is incredible for me, incredible. _ translation: this day is incredible for me, incredible. this _ translation: this day is incredible for me, incredible. this has - translation: this day is incredible for me, incredible. this has been i translation: this day is incredible| for me, incredible. this has been my dream _ for me, incredible. this has been my dream ever— for me, incredible. this has been my dream ever since i was a kid and being— dream ever since i was a kid and being here— dream ever since i was a kid and being here today means so much to me. being here today means so much to me thanks— being here today means so much to me. thanks also to the real madrid fans for— me. thanks also to the real madrid fans for their affection and love. thank— fans for their affection and love. thank you — fans for their affection and love. thank you all for being here today. now i_ thank you all for being here today. now i have — thank you all for being here today. now i have another dream — to be up to the _ now i have another dream — to be up to the task— now i have another dream — to be up to the task for the club of my life, the hest— to the task for the club of my life, the best club in the world. i will give _ the best club in the world. i will give my— the best club in the world. i will give my life for this club and this badge _ so, an incredible welcome, with 80,000 supporters reportedly in the ground. mbappe will fill the number nine short at real, who are the la liga and champions league holders. spanish football journalist semra hunter told me it's a stage he's long been waiting to prove himself on. killian mbappe was decked out with
6:45 pm
posters —— his whole bedroom was decked out. it had always been his dream to play. it think it's been a dream to play. it think it's been a dream for many to come to play for the club. i think we see him in action, he's going to have so much love and support from those. it’s love and support from those. it's another superstar arriving. they've been so successful. is there any worry that he might disrupt any harmony perhaps with a huge name like this? $5 harmony perhaps with a huge name like this? ~ , ., ., , harmony perhaps with a huge name like this? ~ , ., .,, _, , harmony perhaps with a huge name like this? ~ , ., , ., like this? as long as he comes into the side like _ like this? as long as he comes into the side like jude _ like this? as long as he comes into the side like jude belling them did| the side likejude belling them did last season, the fact that he came in and he decided to eat a slice of humble pie and say, "i'm here to actually learn". he did take it quickly and he did went over the fans very fast and his team—mates. if killian mbappe comes in with that approach, that he understands he's
6:46 pm
the club more than the club needs him. that wasn't the place when he was the focal point of that club and had so much control, that will be the case at real madrid. they have won sits over the last ten years. —— six. they have plenty of attacking power, too. he is coming into an already very successful side, so will be very smart to keep his ego at bay and do his best would not just his team—mates, but the fans as well. let's have a quick look at some of the other stories making the headlines today. kyle walker is the only english player in uefa's euro 2024 team of the tournament. walker played every minute for gareth southgate's side as they were beaten 2—1 in sunday's final. alongside walker are six players from spain's team, including manchester city team—mate rodri. fulham have had an initial offer rejected by arsenal for winger emile smith rowe. the 23—year—old managed just 19 appearances for mikel arteta's side last season during an injury hit campaign.
6:47 pm
and wolves are pursuing their complaint against a como player after hwang hee—chan was the target of an alleged racist remark. this comes despite uefa claiming it has no power to investigate. como have released a statement stating they did not consider the incident racist. tennis now, and rafael nadal is through to the last 16 of the atp swedish open after beating bjorn borg's son leo in straight sets. the spaniard cruised to victory inside just 84 minutes and will take on cameron norrie next. nadal is working towards being fit for the olympics in paris later this month. we are lucky to play the whole match without rain. a huge honour to play against the son of one of the guest legends at the history of our sport, so... applause
6:48 pm
i think he played quite well. he has a future in front, so i wish him all the very best. britain's mark cavendish has failed to extend his new record of 35 stage victories in the tour de france. it's probably his final year in the race. with mountains looming, today was the last chance for cavendish to add to his record — but after spending pretty much all of stage 16 safely tucked inside the peloton, he couldn't break through for the final burst. yasper philipsen was first over the line. tadej podagar remains the runaway overall leader. less than two days until the open, which takes place at royal troon this year. and tiger woods has shot down criticism, suggesting his best days are behind him and that he should retire, according to colin montgomery. the 15—time major champion woods, who's won the open three times, has struggled with form and fitness in recent times, but says he'll play as long as he feels he can win. isa is a past champion, i'm exempt.

6:57 pm
developing in scotland and northern parts of england as well, but once those move away overnight, the next few days, the rest of the week looking much more promising with drier and warmer weather on the way as well. and that's mainly because we're going to replace low pressure with high pressure that's moving in from the southwest — that's going to bring with it those rise in temperatures. still some heavy showers though this evening across eastern scotland and north east england to finally move away into the north sea. the showers elsewhere will fade away more quickly. skies will clear as it becomes drier overnight and temperatures will dip away to around 10 or 11 degrees — a few short—lived mist and fog patches in western areas. heading into tomorrow, though, on the whole, a sunny start and a lovely day on the way. temperatures will rise quickly. that will lead to some cloud development, and there's just the risk of one or two light showers, but on the whole, it should be dry and with light winds and some sunshine, it's going to feel a lot warmer and temperatures
6:58 pm
are going to be a few degrees higher than what we saw today. we could actually reach 25 degrees on wednesday afternoon for the first time this month. 25 is not particularly impressive for this time of the year, but we're going to find temperatures getting higher than that later on in the week. there is a weather front in the northwest that's going to bring some cloud and some patchy rain, but ahead of that, we're drawing in southerly breezes, bringing us these higher temperatures. with that weather front, we've got this cloud across scotland, northern ireland, through the irish sea, with most of the showers, england and wales seeing more in the way of sunshine again. those temperatures continuing to rise, reaching 27 degrees, actually, in the south east of england. it's not going to be as warm as that in scotland and northern ireland, and there'll still be more cloud here, at least to start with on friday. any rain becoming confined to the walls of far northwest may well brighten up. but again, it's across england and wales where we'll see the drier weather with more sunshine and those temperatures continuing to rise. the warmth may push a little bit further north, but the highest temperatures, 29 or 30 degrees, are likely in the southeast. is it going to last? well, unfortunately, it looks like things are going to change over the weekend. some wet weather developing, pushing eastwards and dropping the temperatures.
