However, after in the immediate aftermath of England's devastating World Cup quarter-final exit, many fans called for him to step down. It is unclear if Southgate will still be in charge of the national team after the World Cup, and the English Football Association (FA) should decide his future.
One person whose name is associated with this job is a former Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino. The 38-year-old has a wealth of experience having coached Tottenham Hotspur and Tottenham to back-to-back Premier League titles and was a BBC pundit during the World Cup.
Another well-known name . Graham Potter, who recently replaced Thomas Tuchel as Chelsea manager. Potter was a popular favorite to beat Southgate but his odds have plummeted in recent weeks. He was originally 7/2, but is now 14/1.
There are other names on the list, the choice of which may come as a surprise. Aston Villa manager Steven Gerrard is the next favorite at 16/1, while Burnley boss Sean Dyche is available at 20/1. Other names on the list include Leicester City manager Brendan Rodgers, who has been consistently successful in the Premier League with the Foxes. He also led the club to the Community Shield final last season.
Eddie Howe is the man who made his name at Bournemouth. He has worked with the England Under-21s and was even a guest commentator for the BBC during the World Cup. He is the cheapest Englishman on the market. He was also favorite to replace Bruce at Newcastle but retired from football due to injury.
Aston Villa manager Steven Gerrard is also a strong contender, having won both the Scottish Premier League and the FA Cup. Most likely, he will wait for the opportunity to lead Liverpool. He has also worked with the England under-17 team that won the 2017 World Cup.
There is no consensus on who will be the next England manager, but some people have been approached to take over. Some of them have been associated with this position for some time, while others are open to the idea of replacing Gareth Southgate.
The bookies also took the opportunity to make some of their own predictions. Now the favorite is Mauricio Pochettino with a rating of 5/1. He is followed by former Celtic and Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers with a score of 15/2. The other contenders are Graeme Souness, Steve Cooper, Frank Lampard, David Beckham and Graham Potter.
After the World Cup, Southgate said he had no idea what his future would be. However, he said he would judge his performance at the Qatar tournament by how well the team performed. It was clear that the team performed better than expected in the group matches.
