The era of Gareth Southgate with England came to an end after the 2024 Euro final, as he decided to leave the team after losing to Spain in that game after eight years in charge. The FA has started the search for a new coach, so who is the favorite to be the next England manager?
La Roja broke the record for the most Euro titles after beating England 2-1 in the final. The Three Lions weren’t convincing in this tournament, even after reaching the final, as they struggled offensively against much lower teams. Gareth Southgate announced his resignation from coaching England two days later, as it was time for a change after eight years with the team, in which he reached back-to-back Euros finals as well as the World Cup quarter-final and semi-final.
Here are the updated odds for which coach could replace Gareth Southgate as the next England coach:
The best bookies in England think that the race for the next manager will be between Graham Potter, Lee Carsley, or Eddie Howe. The former Chelsea manager, Potter, hasn’t managed any team since leaving the Blues last year, and his name has been around for a while to join the Three Lions. Lee Carsley is the under-21 England manager, which is the exact same role that Southgate had before becoming the senior team’s head coach.
Eddie Howe has been successful with Newcastle for three years, and he has signed a multi-year deal with the team, so it’s unlikely that he leaves this summer. Jurgen Klopp has said that he won’t manage any team this year after leaving Liverpool, while Mauricio Pochettino is still searching for a club after getting sacked by Chelsea this season.
