“I am really happy and I thank the President, it’s a great moment,” Mancini said.

“We have extended our deal. We will play in many competitions, it won’t be easy to win. We are trying to bring forward the project we have began three years ago.

“There are many young players and we hope we will soon reap the rewards of our work. We’ll need some luck in some moments, we will want to have our say at the Euros.”

The Spaniard, who has managed Wigan and Everton in the Premier League was said to be on the club’s shortlist to replace Jose Mourinho.

However, it is understood there are no plans for talks between the two parties and he is not currently considered a candidate.

The 47-year-old is preparing to lead to the Red Devils into the European Championship, aiming to win silverware with a generational squad of players.

Belgium are top of the world rankings but have yet to produce on the biggest stage having been knocked out in the quarter-finals at Euro 2016 before finishing third at the 2018 World Cup.

“We’ll give them a period after their finals, similar to what we’ve done to players who finished on the last day of the Premier League,” Southgate said. “That’s exactly how we approached it ahead of Russia, when Jordan Henderson and Trent [Alexander-Arnold] came in late for that.

“When we’ve talked with the players about their experience in the past, a break with their families was preferable to going away somewhere with the team. We think that’s invaluable time given our aim is to be here for nine games including friendlies and that’s going to be a period of time from start of the tournament onwards, there’s a fair chance we won’t be able to see families.

“We want to get that first part right, get everybody psychologically fresh so it does affect who we can play in the first two friendlies. We’ve got to make sure physically we get the players in the right mode, we can’t overplay the players we’ve got in those friendlies and we’ve got players who might only be ready for 45 minutes in certain games or perhaps a little bit longer. All those things we’ve got to thread together but those players will report back later.”

Low took over the role from Jurgen Klinsmann – who he was assistant boss to – after the 2006 World Cup, with his own assistant for the first eight years being Flick himself.

But Low took the decision earlier this year to leave Germany after this summer’s competition, having led the nation to third place at the 2010 World Cup and then becoming champions four years later in Brazil. At the European Championships, Low has taken Germany to the semis the past two editions and the final in 2008, though has yet to win the tournament.

Gareth Southgate said the England squad’s large representation in this week’s Champions League and Europa League finals was the main factor behind selecting an increased provisional group of 33 players for Euro 2020.

Twelve of the players selected by Southgate will not be able to join their England teammates this week due to Chelsea, Manchester City and Manchester United’s involvement in Europe, meaning the squad would have been left short of options in training.

Euro 2020 is finally in sight, a festival of football which we hope brings plenty to enjoy after a largely forgettable year or so. As ever, a major tournament brings with it a bin-bag full of fresh international kits, and we’ve decided to cast our eye over the good, the bad and the ugly.

You almost certainly won’t agree with our order, in which case please add your own assessments in the comments below, but we hope you enjoy perusing these sartorial delights. It should be noted that North Macedonia are yet to release their kit, so they will be added to the list at a later date.

Ranked from worst to best, here are the football shirts of Euro 2020:

England edged Poland 2-1 in a qualifier for next year’s World Cup, in what was their first serious test of 2021. Gareth Southgate opted for what seems to be his favoured 4-3-3 system, with the back-three formation used during the 2018 World Cup and 2020 Nations League left in reserve as plan B.

On that March evening at Wembley there were plenty of clues as to how the team might set up. Mason Mount was given licence to attack from the midfield three, playing alongside the more conservative Declan Rice with Kalvin Phillips roaming from box to box, and this careful balance is likely to be Southgate’s preferred structure for Euro 2020.

Kane admitted last week that he is at a “crossroads” in his career and that he does not want to retire with any regrets over a lack of trophies, having not won any silverware at club level previously.

Manchester City, Manchester United and Chelsea have all been linked with the 27-year-old, who would prefer to remain in the Premier League even though Tottenham are reluctant to sell to an immediate rival.

Kane hopes to lead England to their first international tournament win in 55 years this summer and Southgate does not expect that his captain will be distracted by off-field speculation.
