Sir Gareth Southgate says the demands of the game are now greater than ever
The authority of managers is being steadily eroded because of the way modern clubs are structured, former England boss Sir Gareth Southgate says.
The increase in football, technical and sporting directors has led to a shift in power, although Southgate says he has "no issue with this evolution".
But he says that despite the switch from 'manager' to 'head coach' set-ups, bosses in current day clubs face just as much pressure as ever.
Southgate's comments come with Real Madrid, Manchester United and Chelsea all having parted company with their head coaches since the turn of the year.
