Next England manager odds

Pressure may be for tyres but England crumbled under the pressure of the 2024 European Championships final and just two days later, Gareth Southgate left his role as England managers. BetUK has the latest next manager odds for England here.

Southgate will go down as England's best manager since Sir Alf Ramsey after making multiple finals with England but the expectation was for England to perform better in both finals. Now that Southgate has left, the pressure will be on the new manager to create a brand new style of football and significantly improve the football that the Three Lions play.

Who do we think will be the next England manager?

In our opinion, Eddie Howe will not be the next England manager, as he comes off as a manager that loves the day-to-day of the job. We think Graham Potter is a similar kind of manager but there has to be a reason he hasn't taken one of the many jobs that have came up. That's why he is the favourite for the role.

However, we believe that Lee Carsley will be the man to take charge of England, Carsley has won 23 out of the 29 matches in charge of England U21's and has a 63% win rate in his career, winning the Under 21's Championship in 2023.

Who are the favourites for the next England manager?

It is worth noting that the likes of Pep Guardiola and Jurgen Klopp are unlikely to sit back and take a job that only requires coaching a team during certain months of the year, these kinds of manager are going to be working around the clock to get the very best out of their teams, making them unsuited to International football. So, these names you won't see manage an international team until they look to wind down their career or they feel they have accomplished everything at a club level.

Next Manager to be Sacked Odds

Names that are commonly linked with the England role are Eddie Howe, Graham Potter and Lee Carsley, three managers with very contrasting experiences in recent years. Eddie Howe is the favourite for both the bookies and the fans after an exception spell at St James' Park with Newcastle United and it is this that has led to him being top of the next England manager betting odds. However, similar to Pep Guardiola and Jurgen Klopp, it seems unlikely that Eddie Howe would be content in a role where he would only work with his squad during a small period of the year with many new signings at Newcastle stating they weren't fit enough to play under Howe when they joined the club.

Could Graham Potter be the next England manager?

That brings us to Graham Potter, who had a very good spell in charge of every club he went too before ending up at Chelsea, where he was sacked with a win percentage of just 38.7%. Potter is a manager who will be desperate for a chance to manage at a top level once again and a spell as England manager could prove to be mutually beneficial for both parties as Potter could succeed Gareth Southgate and have two years before the World Cup to implement his style and get England firing. It is for this reason that Potter sits at the top of the Next England manager odds.

Could Lee Carsley be the next England manager?

If Graham Potter takes on a role before the European Championships, it could lead England to go in a different direction and allow someone to follow in the same footsteps as Gareth Southgate. Lee Carsley took over the England Under 21's manager role from Aidy Boothroyd and has a fantastic win percentage of 79.2% from his first 24 games at that level. Carsley led England to the UEFA European Under-21 Championship in 2023, a competition that Southgate only managed a group stage elimination in during his time. Carsley has certainly impressed the higher ups at England but has he done enough to secure one of the biggest jobs in International football as England's next permanent manager.

Other names linked with the England job include Steve Cooper, Sarina Wiegman and Gary O'Neil. However, a lot can change before next Summer's European Championship.

How did Gareth Southgate perform as England manager

There was arguably never more pressure on an England manager than what sat on the shoulders of Gareth Southgate. Despite having the second highest win percentage in England's history, Southgate was pressure to perform at the 2024 European Championship. Despite making the final, England failed to match expectations and Southgate has left despite being England's longest reigning manager since Sir Bobby Robson.

With a two 2nd, 4th and 6th place in four major tournaments, not including England's third place in the UEFA Nations League, Southgate could be regarded as the most successful England manager since Alf Ramsey, who famously won England the World Cup back in 1966; however, some believe that Southgate has under-performed with the squad and fixtures that he was given and that is why many are eager for the next England manager to come in.
