I can only assume it's related to working with the reserve teams of the country. In time, we'll all have "elite squads".

Southgate is a very intelligent fella when you see him being a pundit, and this is the sort of role I would have thought ideal for him. Kind of non de script that he can appear to talk a good game in.
