Gareth Southgate was appointed England men’s manager in 2016 when the national team was at its "absolute lowest ebb” following two consecutive poor tournaments in the 2014 World Cup and Euro 2016

Joseph Fiennes is set to play England football gaffer Gareth Southgate in a new play about the ‘pressure of penalties’ at the National Theatre. The play is inspired from Southgate’s infamous Euro ‘96 penalty miss.

The play is named ‘Dear England’, and writer James Graham said it would highlight the "gentle revolution" in the team’s culture under Southgate. Graham also hopes to examine "the identity of a football team and the country".
