Graham Potter is the bookmakers’ favourite to succeed Gareth Southgate after the England manager stepped down his role after Euro 2024 final defeat.

Southgate’s future was in doubt after falling short at a fourth major tournament, with his side beaten in back-to-back European Championship finals.

The 53-year-old’s contract was due to expire in December, but Southgate has elected to leave beforehand to give the Football Association (FA) time to appoint a replacement.

A number of high-profile managers are in the frame as England seek a new manager to take them to the 2026 World Cup.

Potter, out of work since leaving Chelsea in April of last year, was listed as low as evens by several major bookmakers after the final defeat.

Eddie Howe, who has done strong work at Newcastle and is on England’s list of targets, is listed at 5/1 by Betfair.

Mauricio Pochettino, another former Chelsea manager, is highly touted having left his role at Stamford Bridge at the end of the season. The Argentine worked closely with Harry Kane and Kyle Walker, England’s captain and vice-captain in Germany, while Tottenham boss.

Manchester City’s Pep Guardiola is perhaps an ambitious shout at 20/1, while Jurgen Klopp, who has turned down an approach from the United States about their vacancy, might be viewed similarly at 14/1.
