Tentacle troubles but we are going to continue with the announcement. Theres only one place to start, and England Manager Gareth Southgate has resigned from his role two days after his sides defeat to spain in the 2024 European Championship final. Southgate took the job on a permanent basis in November 2016 and managed his country for 102 games over almost eight years. In that time, he guided england to a World Cup Semifinal and two European Championship finals. Hes the only Manager Bar Sir Alf Ramsey to lead the england Mens Team into a major tournament final. So with southgate now gone, who could be set to replace him . Former chief Football Writer for the times Henry Winter gave us his assessment of the potential candidates.
