    Gareth Southgate offered new job within minutes of announcing he’s quitting as England boss

    by

    GARETH SOUTHGATE was offered a shock career change within minutes of stepping down as England manager.Southgate quit as Three Lions chief after seeing his side fall at the final hurdle once more with a 2-1 defeat to Spain in Sunday’s Euro final.Southgate has plenty of job options after leaving his England post following eight years in chargeCredit: AlamySouthgate has now decided the time is right to go, with bookmakers proposing he will become the Manchester United boss already.But now Domino’s Pizza have entered the fray by offering Southgate the chance to apply for a job.As soon as Fabrizio Romano posted Southgate’s decision to vacate his role as manager of the national team, the pizza giant stepped in.Almost immediately, Domino’s replied on X: “We’re hiring.”READ MORE FOOTBALL NEWSAnd fans have lapped up the opportunity to add to the tongue-and-cheek X post.One joked: “If you do hire him, he might be able to deliver something for a change.”A second chimed in: “But I heard he doesn’t deliver!”While another said: “He would definitely double box the pizzas.”Most read in FootballBEST FREE BET SIGN UP OFFERS FOR UK BOOKMAKERSBut Southgate’s eligibility for the role can be called into question – he has worked for Domino’s rivals before.The former Aston Villa and Middlesbrough midfielder appeared in a Pizza Hut advert in the 90s – just months after missing the crucial penalty against Germany in Euro 96.’Get him in’ – England fans reveal who they would like to replace Gareth Southgate after Euro defeatNext England manager oddsGraham Potter – EvensEddie Howe – 3/1Mauricio Pochettino – 4/1Lee Carsley – 10/1Frank Lampard – 10/1Jurgen Klopp – 10/1Pep Guardiola – 16/1Southgate was the star of a Pizza Hut ad in 1996Credit: PA:Press AssociationFormer England star Stuart Pearce convinced Southgate to take part in the commercial, alongside Chris Waddle.With the pair – who also missed crucial spot-kicks at Italia 90 – taking the mickey out of the future throughout the dialogue.Southgate even wore a paper bag over his head in the iconic ad.And this is isn’t the first time Southgate’s managerial career has been subject to trolling from Domino’s.After England’s subpar performances in Group C last month, the food chain posted a hilarious picture of an out-of-control Domino’s kitchen.READ MORE SUN STORIESOne employee could be seen sprawled on the floor as tons of pizzas flew out of an oven.The caption for the picture read: “If Southgate ran a Domino’s.”The pizza kings took aim with a hilarious social media postSouthgate’s England legacy should be celebrated, not torn downBy Tom BarclayGareth Southgate claimed that only winning Sunday’s final would earn England the respect of the footballing world.Spain proved a last-gasp comeback too far in Berlin, but defeat did not change the fact that Southgate’s eight-year transformation put respect back into the world of England football.Critics will pick apart his cautious tactics, his selection choices and his record in the most high-pressurised games – with some legitimacy.Yet what is quickly forgotten is the laughing stock our national side had become before he took over in 2016.A shambolic Euros exit to Iceland that summer had been followed up by Sam Allardyce quitting just one game into his tenure thanks to his pint of wine with undercover reporters.Then came Southgate, with his decency, his humility, his understated eloquence and his vision for a better, different future.He had analysed why England had so often failed in the past, from lack of preparation at penalty shoot-outs to players being bored out of their minds during major tournaments.Southgate took those findings and implemented a culture where players wanted to play for their country again – and it led to back-to-back finals for the first time in our history.Instead of going to war with the media, he opened his doors to them and discovered, shock, horror, that it was met, generally, with support. It did not stop him from being criticised when required – we are no cheerleaders, here – but the vitriol of yesteryear – or today on social media – was largely gone.No manager is perfect and neither was Southgate. We cannot pretend his teams played like those of Pep Guardiola or Jurgen Klopp.But in the fullness of time, his feats will likely be revered because the results speak for themselves.Hopefully his successor can go one step further and bring football home. To do that, they must show respect to what Southgate has created and build on it, rather than rip it down.To read more from Tom Barclay click HERE.

      Gareth Southgate brutally trolled with picture of ‘how he’d run Domino’s’ after England’s dire draw with Denmark

      GARETH SOUTHGATE should be brave and play Declan Rice as our sole holding midfielder.
      But if England manager Southgate doesn’t want to do that — and he probably doesn’t ­— then he needs to give Rice the chance to play more like he does for Arsenal.
      Let’s be absolutely clear here. Rice was so important for us again during that first half against Denmark.
      The fact that he had a difficult second 45 minutes showed how much England were struggling.
      Rice himself would hold his hands up and say he gave away the ball too often.
      But what I took overall from his performance is that he needs more help in the engine room.
      Read here how Jack Wilshere would resolve the Declan Rice dilemma.

      Fans certainly found the pizza-related banter hilarious.Begging for a slice of the action, one said: “This page admin deserves a raise.”Another declared: “Not true, there’s way too much final product here.”One noted: “If he ran a Domino’s, they’d become Pizza Hut.”Another added: “They’d give out one pizza then park themselves at the fire exit and refuse to take more orders.”EURO 2024 LIVE: KEEP UP TO DATE WITH ALL THE LATEST NEWS FROM GERMANY More

      Liverpool’s Darwin Nunez brutally trolled by Domino’s Pizza after Reds horror show at Brentford

      by

      DARWIN NUNEZ cannot get a slice of luck right now – and Domino’s were on hand to take the pizza out of the struggling Liverpool striker. The Uruguayan forward must be feeling a bit cheesed off at the moment.

      He could – maybe should have scored – at least a hat-trick against Leicester on Friday night and had to be helped out by Wout Faes’ comedy of errors after squandering chances against Aston Villa before that.
      And things got no better for the c-rusty striker, who is still stuck on five Premier League goals, against Brentford.
      The buzzing Bees stuffed Liverpool 3-1 on Monday and had two marginal VAR calls go against them on a memorable night at the Brentford Community Stadium.
      But at the other end, Nunez’s dip continued.

      He wasted a glorious chance to break his duck after rounding David Raya before Ben Mee cleared off the line.
      Nunez, 23, did find the back of the net with a neat finish… only for VAR to have its say and chalk it off.
      He failed to deliver as he dragged another finish well wide and to top it off, his frustrations boiled over with a booking before Bryan Mbeumo sealed all three points.
      And takeaway pizza giants Domino’s piled more misery on the luckless Liverpool man with a brutal trolling.

      They tweeted a photo of the £85million striker and joked: “Sorry if we’ve missed any orders tonight, we’ve just had this guy start.”
      Some fans appreciated the quip but others were disappointed by the company’s cheeky jibe, especially as there are 15 Domino’s stores in Liverpool.
      Nunez will no dough-t be desperate to prove his worth in the box in the FA Cup against Wolves on Saturday.
      But another game without a goal will surely leave fans’ patience stretched and the striker himself feeling a little flat…
      He had one goal ruled out by VAR and missed a host of other chancesCredit: PA More
