Euro 2024 England finished second. Unfortunately, it was a good performance.
Southgate gave an interview after the Euro tournament to signify his resignation.
The BBC said Southgate is about to resign as England's head coach at the end of the tournament.
Then, the English Football Association quickly established a countermeasure.
The British Guardian reported on the 16th (Korea time) 'England wants Southgate to stay for now. After sufficient dialogue, Southgate's future will be decided, he said. 'We are also looking for candidates for the coach in preparation for Southgate's departure.
Director Eddie Howe, Graham Potter and Thomas Tuchel are the leading candidates for this media. If Southgate steps down as head coach of the England national team, he will be ranked highest on the English Football Association's shortlist. Southgate has not made a final decision, and the FA hopes to lead the team until the 2026 World Cup, but it would not be surprising if he decides to leave the team after eight years in charge.
Southgate said he was `devastated' after losing to Spain in the Euro final. In the meantime, he has received a lot of criticism. At the beginning of the qualifying round, England had problems with their attack and received a lot of criticism as their simple tactics came under fire.
However, Southgate brought England to the final with remarkable determination.
In the event of a vacancy in the Guardian, Eddie Howe, who has been impressive since joining Newcastle three years ago, is the most likely candidate. Porter and Tuchel are also strong candidates, saying 'Other candidates are likely to include former Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino, England Under-21 coach Lee Kasley, and former England internationals Frank Lampard and Steven Gerrard. The entire recruitment process is overseen by John McDermott, technical director of the association, and Mark Bellingham, chief constable.'
Howe is a strong candidate, but there are two problems. First of all, the question is whether Howe can be a free body as Newcastle's head coach. In addition, Southgate is known to receive about 5 million pounds (about 9 billion won), which is the lowest of the Premier League manager's annual salary. Low salaries are also problematic.'
