How did Southgate's personal reflections, as revealed on Desert Island Discs, influence his decision to leave his post?

Southgate's decision to resign was influenced by personal reflections, as evidenced by his choice of Adele's "Someone Like You" for his Desert Island Discs selection. He connected the song's lyrics to his feelings about leaving the England job, suggesting a desire for both himself and the team to move forward. This suggests a thoughtful, strategic decision rather than a purely reactive one following the final match.
