After the Euro 2024 final defeat, English coach Gareth Southgate officially resigned from this position. As English people are huge football fans, there’s currently a big debate over who will be the next England manager. In fact, there are many candidates for this position. And guess what? Experts consider all of them great masters.
Frank Lampard
Frank Lampard had a very rich playing career. Although his managerial career does not match, the Englishman used to coach some great clubs like Chelsea and Everton. He may not have had the best results, but he gained a reasonable amount of experience during that period. So, besides some other foreign coaches, Lampard is one of the English coaches who could possibly claim this position.
Graham Potter
If the question “Who is the next England manager?” still resounds in your head, one of the answers is Graham Potter. Potter is another Englishman whom some fans want in the England national team.
He used to coach Chelsea and didn’t achieve great success. But before that, Graham’s tactics at Brighton showed his expertise. That’s why many fans look forward to seeing him manage England’s squad.
Mauricio Pochettino
The Argentinian does not represent any club or team at the moment after he parted ways with Chelsea. Not many people know this, but Pochettino has adapted to the English football style over the years.
Generally speaking, many Argentine managers choose to coach clubs from countries other than England. Pochettino is an exception to that, as he spent years and years coaching English clubs like Southampton, Tottenham, and Chelsea.
So, for those of you wondering who should be next England manager, one fair suggestion includes this experienced Argentine coach.
Jurgen Klopp
One of the greatest managers of this era, Klopp, left Liverpool in early 2024. Klopp’s contribution to this team is immeasurable. Even before that, the German displayed some outstanding skills in governing Borussia Dortmund.
But the real fun came when he took over the Reds. He won one Champions League, Premier League, Super Cup, FA Cup, and more. With such a rich trophy history, one cannot help but end the debate about who will be the next England manager if they only focus on the past results.
Eddie Howe
Yet another English manager, Eddie Howe, recently got into the spotlight. The main reason for this is, of course, his enormous skills and the ability to set flexible tactics. Actions speak louder than words. So, we saw Howe lead Newcastle to the Champions League in his first season.
While these results are amazing, this English coach may leave the Magpies following the officials’ (Staveley and Ghodoussi) departure. Experts say that Howe may be just the right choice as he can replace Southgate’s energy while implementing his dexterity, which he got from club football.
