Eucs root comparatively shallow in the uk so they spread far to sniff out drains and other water sources.
They’re hard to reduce properly to keep them in shape, don’t take well to pollarding and make it hard for other plants and shrubs nearby.
If it was in the middle of a lawn miles from anything I’d say leave it and let it do it’s thing(full size ones are stunning). If it’s within 10m of the house then have it felled and get the stump ground out to a depth of 8-10” if access is possible for the machine.
