In the process, Southgate revitalised and reshaped the national team's footballing identity.

In Dear England: Lessons in Leadership , Southgate reveals the defining moments that forged his leadership style, the principles that informed his biggest decisions, and the inner steel he developed that enabled him to perform under the most intense public scrutiny. Learn how to:

• Build resilience and define values

• Transform culture

• Shape a winning strategy

• Turn pressure into performance

• Lead through adversity

Southgate reflects on his early days as a Premier League captain, his lowest moment missing a penalty during Euro 96, through to his experiences guiding England through four major tournaments, and becoming a cultural figure whose open letter during the Covid-19 pandemic inspired a hit West End play. Southgate's story is one of overcoming setbacks, building quiet resolve and enacting long-lasting change.

Written with warmth, honesty and wisdom, Southgate's inspiring book transcends football to offer modern-day leadership lessons for any individual, team or organisation.
