England once again fell at the final hurdle of the European Championships, as Gareth Southgate's men lost 2-1 in the final of Euro 2024, three years on from a penalties defeat to Italy in the same competition. The tournament in Germany marked the fourth major competition Southgate has been involved in, and he had decided to step down after Sunday's loss.

He clearly thought that he has taken the team as far as he can, and now England are searching for a new person to lead them to the World Cup in the USA in 2026. The best betting apps have been updating their Next England Manager betting market, with Mauricio Pochettino, Thomas Tuchel and Graham Potter among the favourites. Southgate was given the job on an interim basis from his work with the under-20s and under-21s, and current England under-21 manager Lee Carsley is also shortening on the market for what would be something of a continuity appointment. Eddie Howe has joined Potter and Carsley at the top of the betting and is many people's shout for the job.

Potter Early Favourite Despite Chelsea Nightmare

Graham Potter was the favourite wtih most football betting sites to replace Gareth Southgate before his move to Chelsea. He remains short in the market having not taken a job since leaving Chelsea. He was linked with the Ajax and Brighton jobs this summer, but neither move materialised.

It's easy to see Potter eventually taking charge of the England team considering he is such a progressive and modern-thinking coach. Having cut his teeth at Swedish club Ostersunds, he then managed Swansea City before being captured by Brighton. Potter will be linked with the England job should it become vacant, even though his time as Chelsea boss was cut woefully short after a poor run of form that saw him lead the club to only 12 wins from 31 matches.

Pochettino Could Become First Argentine Coach of England?

It's possible the FA would look to continue appointing Englishmen as coaches of the national team, but Mauricio Pochettino is short on the market and perhaps would be regarded as someone who could reach new heights with the Three Lions thanks to his experiences with Tottenham Hotspur, Paris Saint-Germain and most recently Chelsea.

England have previously installed Sven-Goran Eriksson and Fabio Capello as managers of the national team, with Pochettino having the added advantage of having lived and managed in England. The Argentine was in charge of Southampton before being poached by Tottenham Hotspur, where he was regarded as a success. Poch not only helped the North London outfit qualify for the Champions League but also steered them to the final in 2019.

The former PSG coach remains a free agent for the time being after leaving the Chelsea role at the end of the season with his reputation still intact. Perhaps he could be persuaded to take the top FA job. Ultimately, this is a part-time job compared to club football and that might suit his lifestyle. The latest odds with new betting sites suggest he will interest those at the FA if Southgate leaves.

Eddie Howe a Good Fit For England?

Eddie Howe is another of the UK betting sites' favourites to become the next England manager. The Newcastle United manager fits the mould in terms of being a young, progressive coach who has achieved a reasonable amount of success at club level.

Howe transformed the fortunes of his beloved AFC Bournemouth and is a hugely popular figure at St James' Park. Since replacing Steve Bruce as manager of Newcastle, the 46-year-old has steered the Tyneside outfit away from the relegation zone, and they are now genuine contenders to qualify for the Champions League each season.

One wouldn't necessarily assume that Howe will want to leave his current club in a hurry. This could be the start of great things to come, and it would be a surprise if England were able to get close to landing someone who could be a perfect fit.

Could Thomas Tuchel Become the Next England Manager?

The FA have recently moved away from hiring foreign managers to take charge of the England national teams. However, it might be that we're about to see the first German manager take this high-pressured role.

Thomas Tuchel is a well-known name in English football after his time in charge of Chelsea. The former Borussia Dortmund coach actually led the Blues to Champions League success after replacing Frank Lampard, although he was sacked shortly into the 2022-23 season after some inconsistent performances convinced the club's new owners to go in a different direction.

Tuchel is available on the market after leaving Bayern Munich at the of the season. However, there are currently more compelling names on the market with most betting sites.

Could Lampard Be an Outside Shot?

Frank Lampard dived into football management shortly after giving up playing, and it has been a mixed bag so far. Lampard enjoyed a successful first season in charge of Derby County and steered the Rams to the Championship play-off final before Aston Villa beat them. Lampard then took over over his beloved Chelsea, and he led them to a Champions League berth in his first season before being replaced after a poor start to the following campaign.

Lampard then had a stint in charge of Everton, where he just about managed to keep them in the Premier League. He also had a second temporary spell in charge of Chelsea after Potter left the role, but that as particularly poor, with one win and eight defeats in 11 matches. However, he does have great cache with England fans having earned 106 caps for the Three Lions. He would be a left-field choice, but perhaps not one to rule out.
