Next England manager latest betting odds, tips and analysis after Gareth Southgate resigns

Graham Potter is 11-4 favourite to be the next permanent England manager after Gareth Southgate resigned from the job on Tuesday following the nation's defeat to Spain in the Euro 2024 final.

Southgate took charge as England manager in 2016 and led the Three Lions to the semi-finals and quarter-finals of the World Cup as well as successive European Championship finals, including their first major final on foreign soil.

And while former Brighton and Chelsea boss Potter leads the betting to replace Southgate, England Under-21s head coach Lee Carsley has also been slashed to 3-1 from 10-1 with Coral and Ladbrokes.

Newcastle manager Eddie Howe, meanwhile, is in the running at 7-2, while there has also been late money for former Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp, who is as short as 8-1 with BoyleSports. Mauricio Pochettino can be backed at 12-1.

England went into Euro 2024 as 7-2 favourites to lift the trophy but an underwhelming group-stage performance tempered enthusiasm and the Three Lions came moments away from exiting in the last 16, only for Jude Bellingham's overhead kick to save the day.

They lost 2-1 to Spain, who were 8-1 in the antepost betting, in Sunday's final and Southgate has come under fire for his team's defensive and reactive football.

Announcing his resignation, Southgate said: "As a proud Englishman, it has been the honour of my life to play for England and to manage England.

"It has meant everything to me and I have given it my all. But it's time for change and for a new chapter."

The new England manager's first match in charge could be against Ireland in their Nations League opener in September - the Three Lions are 1-12 shots to win Group B2 and gain promotion back to League A.

Looking ahead to the 2026 World Cup in the USA, Canada and Mexico, meanwhile, England are a best-priced 7-1 to lift the trophy.

Liam Flin's guide to the next England manager candidates

Graham Potter - 11-4

The three leading candidates are English and at the head of the betting is former Chelsea, Brighton and Swansea boss Graham Potter.

Potter caught the eye for his progressive approach with Swedish side Ostersund at the start of his managerial career but is yet to win a trophy in England.

He spent less than seven months in charge of Chelsea but joined at a time when the club had adopted a scattergun approach to the transfer market and it was a big ask to get such big egos to gel so quickly.

The biggest issue many England fans had with Southgate was his style of play and Potter is certainly someone who could implement a more attractive brand of football, having overseen a possession-based, high-pressing approach when in charge of Brighton. Indeed, he could be exactly what England need.

Lee Carsley - 4-1

As was the case with Southgate before he took charge, Lee Carsley's managerial experience is centred around coaching youth sides, and he led England's Under-21s to European Championship glory in 2023.

Spain's Euros-winning coach Luis de la Fuente went down a similar route and it might not be a bad idea to stick with someone familiar with the wants and needs of the FA.

His potential appointment would likely be good news for the likes of Cole Palmer and Anthony Gordon, who featured for him at Under-21 level, but Carsley could be better suited to a temporary role rather than a long-term solution given his similarities to Southgate and the fact he does not match up with other candidates when it comes to experience and tactical nous.

Eddie Howe - 4-1

Eddie Howe will be a popular choice among fans.

Having led Bournemouth from League Two to the Premier League earlier in his career, he is now enjoying a successful tenure with Newcastle, leading them to the EFL Cup final and a top-four finish in 2022-23.

Whether he wants to abandon his project on Tyneside for England remains to be seen, though, and Newcastle have issued a 'hands-off' warning to the FA regarding Howe.

Howe's man-management abilities and the way he handles himself with the media would make him an excellent candidate for the job but he may not want to commit himself to the England job given the progress he has made at club level.

Jurgen Klopp - 10-1

Since the Southgate announcement, Klopp has shortened in the betting and is certainly an appointment which would excite England fans.

Although not as desolate a situation as Liverpool were in when he took charge in 2015, Klopp has experience of refreshing a team and getting fans onside and his brand of football coupled with England's attacking talent could be a winning combination.

Having won pretty much every major tournament available to him at Liverpool, Klopp is by far the most exciting name on this list and would be a brilliant appointment but would the German really be ready to jump into one of the hardest jobs in football after suggesting he needs time away from the game?

Mauricio Pochettino - 12-1

Among the biggest names on the list is Mauricio Pochettino, who has been linked with the England job for some time.

His CV is impressive with stints at Chelsea, PSG and Tottenham, who he led to the Champions League final in 2019, but he is yet to take the plunge into international management.

There is no doubting the Argentinian's abilities as a tactician but the question again has to be asked whether he would want to commit to a role like the England job on a long-term basis.

Thomas Tuchel - 20-1

This seems a less likely appointment but England fans may not turn their nose up at the idea of a Champions League-winning coach with PSG, Bayern Munich and Chelsea on his CV taking the job.

Tuchel is believed to be open to the idea of the England role and his tactical flexibility at the top level would be a big upgrade on Southgate, who came under fire for his substitutions and timing of them throughout Euro 2024.
