Gareth Southgate is set to be confirmed as England head coach on Wednesday after convincing the FA to award him a mega four-year deal that will pocket him £8m.

In World Cup qualifying games against Malta, Slovenia and Scotland he picked up a total of seven points, while also overseeing an impressive display against Spain at Wembley Stadium in a friendly, in which they drew 2-2 after coughing up a 2-0 lead.
And according to theMirror, the FA are ready to announce Southgate as the country's permanent boss on a four-year package, paying him £2m a year - £3m less than Allardyce's contract.
However, there will be significant bonuses for qualifications to the World Cup in 2018 and the Euros in 2020 for the former Middlesbrough boss.
