Interim England manager Gareth Southgate calls for the FA to make a decision on his future by the middle of December.

Interim England manager Gareth Southgate has called for the Football Association to make a decision on his future before Christmas.

Tuesday's friendly against Spain at Wembley will be the last of Southgate's four-match stint in charge, although he is the favourite to land the job on a permanent basis rather than resuming his position as manager of the Under-21s.

Southgate has won two and drawn one of his three games in charge so far, and the 46-year-old has regarded his time at the helm as "very, very special".

"It will be important for me to know what I'm doing after the middle of November. We've got a European Under-21 Championship to prepare for and the seniors have got their next round of qualifiers [in March]," he told reporters.

"Of course everybody is going to want to know, I guess, by the end of November, middle of December, where everything is heading so we can decide who is responsible for which parts of the organisation's work. That's not my decision in the end. I've enjoyed what I've done so far.

"I'm immensely proud to have led my country for three games, with another on Tuesday, and to be involved in an England-Scotland game, which is as high pressure as they come. It's been a brilliant experience and very, very special."

FA chairman Greg Clarke, technical director Dan Ashworth, chief executive Martin Glenn and League Managers' Association chairman Howard Wilkinson will be in charge of the decision.
