World Cup 2022 LIVE: Gareth Southgate will STAY as England boss, Benzema’s Instagram SNUB as Croatia finish THIRD

GARETH SOUTHGATE will STAY on as England manager.

Southgate is set to give the Football Association the perfect Christmas present by telling them of his decision this week.

There were talks about the World Cup being Southgate’s last rodeo as Three Lions manager but he has now decided to continue as boss into the Euro 2024 campaign.

Meanwhile, Karim Benzema appears to have snubbed the possibility of making a shock appearance for the French squad in Sunday’s final against Argentina.

The Ballon d’Or winner posted a snap of himself and captioned it “I’m not interested.”

Elsehwere, Croatia finished third at the World Cup after beating Morocco 2-1 in the playoff clash.
