The Football Association have invited applications from the public for the vacant England manager role after posting a job advert online, as the search for Gareth Southgate’s successor begins. The FA are looking for a new head coach after Southgate stepped down from his role on Tuesday, following the Euro 2024 final defeat to Spain.
Southgate, 53, decided to step down after nearly eight years in the role and the beloved Three Lions boss penned an emotional letter to the fans and players as he walked away.
Eddie Howe, Graham Potter and Mauricio Pochettino are believed to be the frontrunners for the position, while a number of outside candidates such as Thomas Tuchel and Joachim Low have reportedly registered their interest.
But it seems the FA are also looking to expand their interview process by opening it up to candidates outside of their normal spectrum of targets.

The job was posted on Thursday and has a deadline set for August 2, which is presumably when the FA’s search committee would prefer to begin interviewing prospective candidates.
FA chief executive Mark Bullingham will be leading the search, with the advert detailing what would be expected from the new England boss.“We are currently overseeing a highly targeted process to appoint the next Head Coach of the England Men’s Senior Team,” the advert reads.

“Our succession planning process has already identified a number of candidates; in addition to this we are committed to open recruitment processes in the football industry and are interested in hearing from individuals who meet the following criteria.
“Lead and develop the England senior men’s team to win a major tournament and be consistently ranked as one of the top teams in the world. Provide inspiring leadership to a world class, multi-disciplinary technical team based at St. George’s Park. Develop and maintain strong relationships with clubs who employ English qualified players.”
Southgate reached at least the semi-final in three of his four major tournaments, including back-to-back finals at the Euros. But the notable wording of it being a “requirement to win a major tournament” suggests England are intent on bringing home their first international title in 58 years.
