The next England manager odds have seen some significant changes after the Three Lions lost their second successive Euros final, 2-1 to Spain this time around.
Since then, Gareth Southgate has left his post after eight years of managing the Three Lions, with Lee Carsley now taking interim charge ahead of England's UEFA Nations League games coming up.
It will be interesting to see whether he is given the job on a permanent basis, or whether the FA go down a different route when it comes to appointing the next permanent England boss.
Next England manager odds: Latest news
England lose another Euros final
England became the first international men's team to lose two successive Euros finals, after defeat at Euro 2020 against Italy on penalties at Wembley Stadium was followed by heartbreak once again, this time on foreign soil as the Three Lions lost 2-1 to Spain at Euro 2024 in Berlin. With Southgate's contract up at the end of the year, fans are starting to question whether it should be renewed.
Southgate helped reunite the country with their love of football after a humiliating 2-1 defeat to minnows Iceland at Euro 2016, helping England achieve a quarter-final, semi-final and two finals in their last four major tournaments. However, performances at Euro 2024 were far from convincing considering the abundance of talent that the Three Lions boast in their squad, and the failure at the final hurdle has still seen a major trophy elude the current crop.
Carsley picks first squad
Carsley recently named his first squad as England interim manager, with some perhaps surprise inclusions on top of some familiar faces. Jack Grealish returned to the squad after being snubbed by Southgate for the Euros, while Harry Maguire returned after missing the tournament in Germany due to injury.
However, the likes of Lille's Angel Gomes and Nottingham Forest's Morgan Gibbs-White also make it despite not earning any senior caps for their country, as Carsley aims to stamp his new authority on the team early. Big names to miss out include the likes of Kyle Walker and Kieran Trippier, with the latter since announcing his retirement from international football.
Next England manager odds: Current outrights
Pep Guardiola 2/1
Perhaps surprisingly, current Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola is now the outright favourite to be the next permanent England manager. He is in his final year of his contract at the Etihad Stadium, and may seek a new challenge.
Of course, Guardiola boasts an impeccable CV and is widely regarded as one of if not the best manager in the world at the moment, so he would be an incredible appointment. It is not known whether an English manager would be preferred by the FA, but they could try to move for the special Spaniard.
Lee Carsley – 9/4
Southgate was promoted from the U21s to the senior team, and England could follow a similar route by appointing Carsley. He will know a lot of the young players having coached them at youth level, and again would provide a cheaper option than buying out another manager's contract at club level.
Graham Potter – 4/1
Potter was considered the outright favourite with bookmakers to replace Southgate, but has since been replaced by Guardiola. The former Chelsea manager is currently out of work, which means it would not cost the FA anything to bring him in.
Eddie Howe – 7/1
Howe is another favourite with bookmakers to replace Southgate. It would be difficult to persuade him to leave Newcastle though with the new Premier League season already underway, especially considering the long-term project that has been put in place at St. James' Park.
Jurgen Klopp – 8/1
Klopp announced that he is not looking for any more managerial work after leaving Liverpool. However, an international job, which is less hands-on than a club one, may tempt him to get back into management.
