Eddie Howe, Newcastle United’s manager, is reported to be on England’s shortlist for the role of Three Lions head coach.
Gareth Southgate has resigned down as England manager following the European Championship final defeat to Spain, with the search for his successor underway.
Newcastle manager Eddie Howe is undoubtedly in the running, but he will not be alone in the hunt for the top position. Graham Potter is thought to be another English candidate.
After leaving, Southgate stated, “As a proud Englishman, it has been the honour of my life to play for and manage England. It’s meant everything to me, and I’ve given my best.
“However, it is time for change and a new chapter. “My final game as England manager was against Spain on Sunday in Berlin.”
FA CEO Mark Bullingham has spoken about replacing Southgate, stating: “The process of appointing Gareth’s successor is now underway, and we hope to have our new manager confirmed as soon as possible.” Our UEFA Nations League campaign begins in September, and we have an interim solution in place if needed.
“We know there will be inevitable speculation, but we won’t be commenting further on our process until we appoint.”
Bullingham paid praise to Southgate, saying: “On behalf of English football, I’d like to thank Gareth Southgate and Steve Holland for everything they’ve done.
“Over the last eight years, they have transformed the England men’s team, creating unforgettable memories for everyone who supports the Three Lions.” We are very proud of Gareth’s stay because of his distinctive contribution to the English game, which included a vital role in player development and culture transformation. However, his record of winning tournament games is particularly impressive.
We had won seven knockout games in the 25 competitions since 1966, prior to Gareth taking over. In his four tournaments, we have won nine. So, in eight years, he has won more important games than in the previous fifty years.
“And, of course, we’ve had good tournament results during their time. We were so close to winning the EUROs in London and securing our men’s team’s first trophy in almost 50 years, and we came so close again in Berlin on Sunday.
“Before Gareth, our longest run in the top five in the world was seven months. During his leadership, we were rated there for six years.
“Gareth accomplished the impossible and set solid foundations for future success. He is well regarded by the players, the coaching staff, everyone at the FA, and the rest of the footballing world.
“We are very proud of everything Gareth and Steve achieved for England, and will be forever grateful to them.”
