But there are several other candidates in the frame with the likes of Jurgen Klopp, Pep Guardiola and Mauricio Pochettino also thought to be in contention.

Southgate, who has been in charge of the Three Lions since September 2016, has entered his fourth major tournament as manager.

He’s guided the national team to a semi-final at the 2018 World Cup, the final of EURO 2020 and the quarter-finals of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.

And regardless of the current Euros, many believe it will be Southgate’s last hurrah with his contract set to expire before 2025.

But who is most likely to replace him as England manager?

Graham Potter is firmly in the driving seat at 2/1 with talkSPORT BET, having previously been available at 6/1 before the tournament in Germany started.

Magpies manager Eddie Howe, 46, is next at 6/1.

He’s long been admired by the FA and has proven his credentials over the last couple of seasons by guiding Newcastle to a top-four finish in the Premier League and qualification for the Champions League.

Lee Carsley is also in the mix at 6/1 having overseen England win the European Under-21 Championship in 2023, which was their first title in the competition since 1984.

Manchester City’s Pep Guardiola is next at 8/1 to swap domestic success for international glory with his contract at the Etihad Stadium expiring in June 2025.

Fellow legendary manager Jurgen Klopp is also available at 8/1 having left Liverpool.

Mauricio Pochettino, who was released by Chelsea and replaced with Enzo Maresca following their sixth-placed finish, is 10/1 and Steven Gerrard completes the market at 14s.
