| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Sky Sports Football podcast brought to you by Bet365, where every now biting nil-nil, every bizarre VAR, every foregone conclusion, bad pass, slam dunk, tap-in, full start, dead heat, and absolutely expected defeat is amazing. |
| 0:17.3 | From football to tennis and ice hockey to motorsport. Whatever the moment, it's |
| 0:22.5 | never ordinary at Bet 365. He called it the honour of his life, but it's time for change. So says Gareth Southgate as he resigns as England manager two days after taking England to the Euro's final in Germany. On the way, we'll hear from former England defenders and Sky Sports pundits. Gary Neville and Jamie Carriger. Plus, we'll look at who is the favourite to replace Southgate in English football, |
| 0:55.0 | perhaps world football's top job. |
| 0:56.9 | This is the Essential Football podcast from Sky Sports. |
| 1:05.0 | I'm Ron Walker and I'll be honest, after a busy last couple of weeks covering the Euros, |

| 1:40.4 | World Cup coming up in two years' time. He singles out his assistant, Steve Holland, for particular praise, |
| 1:45.8 | as well as his backroom staff and England fans. |

| 1:52.9 | Sam, Southgate, said after the final on Sunday, |

| 1:57.6 | before making a decision about his future. |

| 2:02.2 | No, well, if you go back to the World Cup in Qatar in 2022, again, it was about 48 hours |
| 2:08.0 | after the tournament finished where he actually said, you know what, I'm committing to staying. |
| 2:13.3 | And now he's done the same thing, but gone the opposite way. |
