AFTER England bowed out of their second Euro’s final on the trot on Sunday Gareth Southgate handed over his managerial reigns to the FA after nearly eight years of service.
During his time in management since 2016 the former Middlesborough League Cup hero and captain guided his country to back to back Euro finals in succession for the first time in history (2020 and 2024), and one World Cup semi-final (2018) and Quarter-final (2022) finishes.
So who has the greatest chances of taking over the England “Hot Seat” from Southgate?
Bet365 have put Newcastle United’s current manager Eddie Howe as the most likely of candidates with him being handed odds of 11/4.
On the other hand Labrokes and William Hill have handed the man who took AFC Bournemouth from the brink of relegation from The Football League to Premiership action within seven years, a 9/4 chance.
In second is ongoing England u-21 boss Lee Carsley who has been awarded 11/4 in the eyes of Bet365, although Betfred and BetMGM say 3/1.
Another man who has been handed odds for the position who has fallen off the managerial bus lately after a rocky 2022/23 patch at Chelsea following a successful period in his career with Brighton is Graham Potter.
The Englishman has been slapped on the wrists 9/2 odds for the job by Bet365 alongside Sky Bet and Paddy Power handing him 5/2 likelihood of a breakthrough.
