Earlier, there was a bombshell news that Gareth Southgate had resigned as England manager.

As soon as the news came out, countless England fans rushed to tell each other, and "dawn" became the most common keyword. Gareth Southgate took over as England manager in 2016 and has led the team to four major tournaments: World Cup 2018, Euro 2020, World Cup 2022 and Euro 2024. In these four tournaments, the best result is the runner-up of the European Cup, and it is the second consecutive final, but both failed. The other two World Cups have been held once in the round of 4 and once in the round of 8. During this period, he led the team to participate in a total of 102 games, with a record of 64 wins, 20 draws and 18 losses, with a winning rate of 62.7%, scoring 230 goals and conceding 86 goals.

Judging from the results, it is not satisfactory, but fans who follow the England national team know that the doubts surrounding Gareth Southgate have never stopped. The Premier League is recognised as the number one league in the world, and England's football talent continues to reach new heights in recent years, with many of the players in the squad at the heart of the big clubs. Real Madrid's Bellingham, Manchester City's Foden, Arsenal's Rice and Saka, Bayern's Kane, etc., there are as many as 5 players in the team who are worth more than 100 million, and the total value of the team is more than 1.5 billion, which is the highest in Europe.

With such a luxurious squad, Southgate has never led the team to play a performance commensurate with his value. Not only did the honor level not get anything, but the content of the competition was also lackluster.

And this European Championship was the "last straw" that crushed Southgate. England are not in a difficult group, being in a group with Denmark, Slovenia and Serbia, and the other three teams are not among the best in Europe. England won 3 games, 1 win, 2 draws, and 5 points to advance, although they qualified, but the process was full of dangers. And only 2 goals have been scored in 5 games, which is very unconvincing. So during the group stage of the European Championship, there were constant doubts surrounding Southgate. If they hadn't been lucky enough to avoid all the traditional powerhouses in the first two rounds of the knockout rounds, it would be hard to say whether England would have made it to the final.

After Southgate's departure, a potential replacement has also surfaced. According to Ben Jacobs of The Athletic, Pochettino and Eddie Howe are the favourites to succeed Gareth Southgate in charge of England. In addition, another former Blues boss Graham Potter has also been included in the list of scandals.

Pochettino has left the Blues in a state of idleness and is ready to take up his post at any time. Pochettino's strength lies in his familiarity with English players and his ability to bring out the best in them, particularly Harry Kane, who has enjoyed working together for many years at Tottenham. Eddie Howe, who is currently the manager of Newcastle, is also familiar with English football and is an English himself, and his release fee is £5 million. Graham Potter is also in a state of leisure at the moment, also an Englishman, and is familiar with English football.

Judging from the odds given by the relevant institutions, Graham Potter is the first, followed by England Under-21 manager Carsley, as well as Eddie Howe and Pochettino. Thomas Tuchel, Frank Lampard, Jurgen Klopp, Pep Guardiola, Postecoglou and Michael Carrick are among them. However, the likes behind Pochettino are unlikely, with Thomas Tuchel already resting for a year and Jurgen Klopp also unlikely to be back anytime soon. Who is England's new manager? We'll see!
