Striker ‘would love’ manager to stay on after 2022 World Cup
England captain reveals he is always in fear of his place

Harry Kane has said that he would love Gareth Southgate to stay on as England’s manager after the 2022 World Cup.

Southgate’s contract is due to expire after Qatar and he is yet to open talks with the Football Association over an extension. The 50-year-old has refused to hold negotiations before qualification for the World Cup is secured and could decide to seek a new challenge, but Kane was adamant that the uncertainty is not a distraction for the squad before their final two qualifiers against Albania and San Marino.
