The latest odds from Sky Bet, correct as of 1:45 pm on Tuesday, July 16th, have sparked speculation about the potential candidates for the vacant England manager position. With Gareth Southgate’s resignation still fresh in everyone’s minds, the search for his successor is heating up.
One name that has been thrown into the mix is Graham Potter. Since leaving Chelsea, Potter has turned down the chance to become Sweden’s head coach and has had discussions with both Ajax and Leicester City. His availability would certainly appeal to the FA, and if England were to come calling, it would be a huge surprise if Potter said no.
Another potential candidate is Lee Carsley. The former player recently rejected an offer to take over as head coach of the Republic of Ireland. Carsley’s impressive work with the U21s has caught the attention of many, and he could be in line to follow in Gareth Southgate’s footsteps and be promoted to the senior men’s national team.
Lastly, the current Newcastle United manager has long been considered a future England manager. His success at Bournemouth, where he led them to the Premier League, and at Newcastle, where he guided them to the Champions League, has not gone unnoticed. Could he be the one to take the reins of the Three Lions?
As the search for the new England manager continues, one thing is certain – there are plenty of candidates vying for the prestigious position. Only time will tell who will be chosen to lead the national team into the future. Stay tuned for more updates as the story develops.
