Despite England reaching the final, Lineker suggested Southgate might step down and even proposed Jurgen Klopp as a successor. Additionally, Lineker hinted that England captain Harry Kane might retire from international football after Euro 2024 due to declining performance. His comments have divided opinions within the BBC and among fans, with some calling for his removal from the broadcaster.
