Following the defeat in the Euro final, Gareth Southgate resigned from his position as England’s manager. Today, British media outlet the BBC has listed over a dozen potential candidates for England’s future managerial role, with names like Potter, Eddie Howe, and Pochettino included.
The detailed list is as follows:
Aidy Boothroyd, currently the head coach of England’s U21 team, could serve as an interim manager while awaiting the appointment of a high-profile national team coach.
Pep Guardiola, the current Manchester City manager, whose contract runs until 2025, stands a good chance of becoming England’s manager, although his high salary presents an obstacle.
Eddie Howe: Currently the manager of Newcastle United, his contract extends until 2027, but Howe harbors strong ambitions to become England’s manager.
Jürgen Klopp, currently on a break, is also a potential candidate for Germany and the USA, but the coach himself wishes to take some time off.
Mauricio Pochettino, currently on a break, lives in London and has a deep love for English football, which could assist him in securing the role of England’s manager.
Graham Potter, currently on a break, turned down offers from several clubs and national teams after leaving Chelsea, but managing England holds considerable appeal for him.
Thomas Tuchel, currently on a break, has managed several prestigious clubs and was nearly appointed by Manchester United, but he appears less interested in coaching England’s national team.
In addition to these high-profile coaches, Lampard, McKenna, Carrick, Rodgers, and Mourinho are also included in the list.
