Southgate is considering his future after England's World Cup quarter-final defeat to France
– Eddie Howe at Newcastle United and Chelsea’s Graham Potter – are at the start of exciting Premier League projects.
“Qatar have won a lot of friends because of this World Cup and the way it has been handled,” Dein, 79, said. “The stadiums have been sensational: Lusail, Al Thumama… Architecturally, they’re really beautiful. Everybody got to the stadia on time, the games have kicked off on time, the refereeing overall’s been very good, VAR [has] largely been fine, it’s been a very successful tournament.
Dein also believes the quality of football has demonstrated the benefits of a winter World Cup. “There is another argument for a winter World Cup,” he said. “I know [club] managers won’t like it because they will lose their players at a critical time, but for the World Cup itself as a tournament, the players are fresher. There is no doubt.”
“The last 10 years there’s been a spotlight on Qatar, but that’s part of us reforming. Whether it’s on the labour side, on different human rights, we’re using the World Cup as a vehicle to expedite that reform,” he told i. “But the reform had to take place regardless of the World Cup. We, as a country, had those values of inclusivity and social cohesion.
