Graham Potter is the odds-on favourite to succeed Gareth Southgate should the England manager leave his role after Euro 2024 final defeat.
Southgate’s future is 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 is due to expire in December, but Southgate may elect to leave beforehand to give the Football Association (FA) time to appoint a replacement.
A number of high-profile managers are in the frame if England do seek a new man to take them to the 2026 World Cup.
Potter, out of work since leaving Chelsea in April of last year, is listed at evens by several major bookmakers.
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.
Eddie Howe, who has done strong work at Newcastle, is listed at 7/2 by Betfair. Manchester City’s Pep Guardiola is perhaps an ambitious shout at 15/2, while Jurgen Klopp, who has turned down an approach from the United States about their vacancy, might be viewed similarly at 14/1.
