Gareth Southgate, the manager of England’s football team, plans to select a secluded base camp in Germany ahead of Euro 2024. He aims to create a serene atmosphere for the team, distancing them from outside distractions while still having access to facilities for training and preparation. Southgate’s approach prioritizes the players’ wellbeing and comfort, and he may take inspiration from the team’s setup during the 2018 World Cup in Russia, where they were stationed in a remote location away from media attention.
Jaroslav Silhavy, the coach of the Czech national football team since 2018, has announced his resignation. Despite leading the team to the quarterfinals of Euro 2020 and securing a spot in Euro 2024, Silhavy faced criticism for erratic performance and a recent scandal involving several players. His future had been uncertain since a defeat in October, and the nightclub incident proved to be the tipping point. Silhavy plans to support the team as a spectator during Euro 2024.
