 Southgate has been in charge at Boro since June 2006
|
Middlesbrough chairman Steve Gibson is convinced manager Gareth Southgate is the right person to take the club back into the Premier League.
Gibson meant with Southgate to discuss a strategy for next season after the club's relegation to the Championship.
"Gareth has convinced me he knows what it takes to get us back up," Gibson told BBC Radio Tees.
"He is a man I know and admire and we will work together to get this club back to the Premier League."
Southgate has been in charge of Boro since June 2006 after Steve McClaren left to take charge of the England team.
The club finished 13th in his first season in charge but were relegated from the Premier League on Sunday.

"We will not have a scapegoat at this football club, it will not be Gareth Southgate," added Gibson.
"He is a good man, an intelligent man capable of being a top, top manager.
"What we need is the support of the fans and the town, and let's work together to get the club back in the Premier League.
"You may disagree with my decision and I respect that, but I have to make the decision and I am convinced that Gareth is the right man for the job."
Gibson was speaking on a televised phone-in on the radio station - and dismissed rumours that the club could go into administration, suggesting Boro's debts - once thought to be in excess of £90m - had been reduced by two thirds.
He also angrily denied claims that he wanted to club to go down in order to cut costs.

"We hate the Championship, we don't want to be here," he said. "We are a Premier League club, we are a Premier League town with Premier League supporters.
"At the moment, I am a Championship chairman - I want to be a Premier League chairman. It's daft to suggest anything else.
"It's just daft. There is no evidence to support that theory whatsoever."
