Whoever replaces Southgate will have a mammoth job on his hands as England may have never been hungrier for an International trophy. The team recently lost their second consecutive European Championship final and have not won a major international trophy since the 1966 World Cup.

Although it was initially reported that Guardiola will leave City after his current contract runs out but a recent report suggested that the head coach held a meeting with the group and had positive talks which may see him extend his contract.

Alongside Guardiola, Eddie Howe, Thomas Tuchel, Graham Potter are the other names being discussed in their search for the next manager.
