England parted ways with Gareth Southgate earlier this summer after their heartbreaking defeat in the European Championship final against Spain. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/gareth-southgate-resigns-as-england-manager-emotional-statement-after-euro-2024-final-heartbreak/bltd1a723cfd0ac920e" target="_blank">Southgate resigned from his role</a> after finishing second best in the Euros for the second time in a row.

WHAT HAPPENED?

After the 54-year-old's departure, the FA appointed England Under-21 boss Lee Carsley as the stop-gap manager of the senior men's team. While the Three Lions have performed satisfactorily under Carsley thus far, winning their first two Nations League clashes against Ireland and Finland, the FA might not hand Carsley the permanent job as they have started searching for external candidates, according to the <a href="https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2024/09/11/lee-carsley-not-guarante-england-job-fa-talks-managers/" target="_blank">Telegraph</a>.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

The report further adds that the FA has prepared a shortlist of managers who could take charge of the national team in the coming months. Newcastle United's Eddie Howe and former Chelsea manager's Graham Potter and Frank Lampard are the English names which are being considered. Among the overseas managers, Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola's name is on the shortlist, and he's reportedly the FA's dream appointment.

DID YOU KNOW?

For now, Guardiola remains focused on the Cityzens who will aim to extend their winning streak to four Premier League games on Saturday as they take Brentford at home.
