Southgate stands down as England manager

[theonlywayisup]

Not a surprise! Decent bloke, I think. Can be proud of what he has achieved, IMO.

[MrSmith]

100% good guy and put together a good team. Hounded out by their ****ty entitled media.

[Since452]

Will there be a statue built outside Wembley? What an incredible manager he's been for them.

[Spike Mandela]

Wouldn’t feel too sorry for him. On a reprted £5m a year for a job with a lot of media pressure but a handful of games a year and a very talented pool of players to pick from. Not the worst job in the world.

Klopp would be their best choice. Hope not though they might win something under Klopp and his style of playing.

Klopp could win them the World Cup, I hope they go with someone like Lampard or Gerrard.

[The Modfather]

The English Jack Ross.

A likeable man (which is annoying as an England manager). Left them much better than he found them but not up to getting them over the line and onto the next level. Consistent at tournaments, but also benefited from very kind draws. Think it was one of the pundits that made the point that he would likely have been a quarter final manager like the others if they had to face Croatia, Italy, Spain etc at that stage like his predecessors did. Which is a fair point.

Hopefully they go for someone like Eddie Howe and not someone like Klopp.

[Big_Franck]

Gutted he's gone. I'd have given him a new 10 year contract.

[GreenNWhiteArmy]

A year early for Pep I suspect but the likes of him or Klopp would win a major. Without doubt. What about Ancelotti?

Hope it's one of the uninspiring English managers on thr list. Tough act to follow. He can be proud of what he's achieved.

[Pretty Boy]

He has certainly left a far better situation that the one he inherited. Built a good platform but probably not the man to get them over the line.

As others have said he seems a pretty likable sort, he was very measured post match on Sunday and has seemed every bit as exasperated by the English media as many of us are at times.

[The Sundance Kid]

Might be wrong but I’m sure I read that Klopp was looking to take at least a year out to recharge the batteries and spend time with his family. Can’t see him taking it at this point in time.

Think Mauricio Pochettino or Graham Potter would be the more likely front runners of those mentioned. Possibly Eddie Howe also depending on how he feels about the changes behind the scenes at Newcastle currently taking place.

[A Hi-Bee]

Wonder if he would take the Scotland job, although we could not afford him, with the amount of money that goes into the English game they should be winning World and Euro cups, scandal right enough, perhaps he should be banished to Australia, or some other sandy type place.

[Haymaker]

Neil Warnock please.

Far too negative with the players he had and throw in the ridiculous easy draws they received to reach both finals.
Don't think there will be any top clubs looking to appoint him as manager.

Think Ancelotti is off to Manage Brazil after this season?

Ancelotti was being wooed by Brazil several months ago, the gist of what I read online was that he’s signed a new Madrid contract but isn’t expected to see it to the end, will step aside for most likely Alonso in a year/2 years and take the the Brazil job for a couple of tournaments

Being a successful club manager doesn't always mean they'll be a good national manager for those saying Klopp.

I remember him being linked but assumed it fell away given he's still at Madrid. Makes sense as they're probably the 2 jobs in football you can't say no to

[Green forever]

They should go for a homegrown manager, Lee Johnson is available.

He’s an inoffensive/fairly likeable man who was a safe pair of hands in a number of ways, not least that some of his predecessors had been seen to be failures, and/or clashed with the FA. He’s a conservative manager, and has under-utilised some of the talent he’s had at his disposal, whilst equally has made England for the most part a pretty consistent team. Definitely leaving them in a far better place than he inherited. Wouldn’t be surprised to see a few of their fans wondering what they’ve lost if the next man turns out to be a hodgson level appointment.

He’ll be well sought after if he wants another job as a club manager (Man Utd were linked regularly before ETH was confirmed as staying), although he’s not the level of a Klopp, Pep or Ancelotti.

[Joe6-2]

The press coverage of this is ridiculous

[Lago]

Nice guy who has undoubtedly improved the England team, whoever comes in has a fantastic talent pool to work with and should be able to take them to the next level.

Maybe convince Steve Clarke to jump ship.

[MWHIBBIES]

Klopp, Pep and Ancelotti? Not a hope.

Howe, Potter, even Kieran McKenna? Sure.

I think with certain international jobs, smart managers bide their time as to when they take it. Some countries generally seem to have a decent level of squad almost all the time, others have more noticeable peaks and troughs. Brazil seem to be on a downturn at the moment, I wonder if ancelotti is happy to wait for someone else to take the job for a year or 2 and bring through some younger players

Good point. From what I see there Copa America campaign was a disaster and I think some of the ex pros were publicly against them

What makes you think that MW? Financially it will pay very well I'd suspect

Mourinho 40/1 he wins things...

Pep zero chance. Not his job, paid far more at city. Literally bought his brother a club.

Klopp already said he's taking a long break. He's also you know, German, so would manage Germany if any national team id think.

Ancelotti doing a excellent job at Real. Nothing but stress being England manager.

The Southgate model worked. They'll do something similar. Capello and Sven didn't really work.

[K-Zazu]

Potter will get it.

And to think the fans were upset at the lack of goals under Southgate!
