England has yet again failed to win any major trophy. This is the second consecutive time that they failed to win the silverware. The Three Lions lost to Spain 2-1 in the final of the UEFA Euro 2024. In the 2020 edition also they lost in the final against Italy. After two back-to-back losses in the finals, the FA decided not to continue with their manager Gareth Southgate.
Despite previously backing the coach, management has parted ways with the 53-year-old head coach. The coach could not manage a star-cast team in both tournament editions. He had the best footballers in the team, who have performed well in their respective clubs. But the team bonding and chemistry were missing out. They struggled in the group stages and the knockouts, despite making it to the final.
The managerial position is currently free. The FA has not decided yet with the new manager. However, some coaches have been shortlisted by the management. They would like to be appointed to their national team and win some major silverware for the country. We will take a look at some of the coaches that the FA might select as their next head coach of the side.
Here are the 3 managers who can be the next England manager
3. Eddie Howe
Eddie Howe has been one of the finest managers currently in the English Premier League (EPL). The Newcastle United head coach has made some amazing transitions in the squad leading them to the UEFA Champions League. Howe has established himself as one of the potential replacements for Southgate in the England squad. The strength he brings is that he is a great communicator with his players.
2. Graham Potter
Graham Potter has been out of a managerial role since he was sacked by Chelsea. He has been patient and has not hurried his way despite having offers from other clubs as well. Previously he expressed his feelings about replacing the former England manager. But whether will Potter be able to manage the side will be a big question.
1. Jurgen Klopp
Jurgen Klopp has been the favourite candidate to replace the 53-year-old. However, the backlash that FA is facing is that he will not be returning to coaching until a year. The German has gained a bunch of experience coaching Liverpool and established himself in England. He will be the perfect replacement for Southgate with the kind of football he loves to play.
