Gareth Southgate announced his decision to step down as manager on Tuesday morning, two days after the defeat in the Euro 2024 final against Spain. The English Football Association published a special statement with the manager’s statement on its website.

England have played 102 games under Gareth Southgate. Now the names are being swapped and speculation is swirling about who will replace him as manager. Eddie Howe, Graham Potter, Mauricio Pochettino and Thomas Tuchel are among the possible successors.

But that’s not all, because talkSPORT also included 54-year-old Sarina Wiegman among the candidates – the current coach of the women’s national team, who led England to victory in the 2022 European Championship. Five years ago, she won this title with the Netherlands.
“If the FA were looking for someone with a proven track record of international success and who knows how the FA works, then Wiegman would surely be at the top of the list. She has already proven that she can deliver success. Great success at major tournaments,” we read.
There is no doubt that appointing a woman as a coach of the men’s first team would be unique, although there are also some concerns. The media wonders whether the successes she has already achieved and the coaching skills she has developed can be transferred to the men’s game.
