A giant of English football, Southgate is on top form and more candid than ever in this unmissable conversation with Amol Rajan. He talks about what he’s learned from failure; why he stopped enjoying football; how the game is letting fans down; whether he would return; and why he now spends so much time thinking about the crisis of meaning afflicting so many men. How can we build confident, kind, resilient young people? Gareth distils years of hard thinking and wisdom on leadership, challenging characters, and what it means to be English today. And he explains what comes next in his own remarkable journey.
