London: The Football Association have identified a "number of candidates" to replace Gareth Southgate as they search for an England manager capable of "winning a major tournament".
Southgate resigned on Tuesday in the aftermath of England's Euro 2024 final defeat against Spain.
The end of Southgate's eight-year reign has forced the FA into a selection search that has seen them linked with a host of candidates.
Among the bookmakers' favourites are Newcastle manager Eddie Howe, former Chelsea bosses Graham Potter, Mauricio Pochettino and Thomas Tuchel, as well as Tottenham coach Ange Postecoglou.
However, the FA insist the process is open to anyone who meets the criteria it published on Friday in a job profile detailing the qualities required in the next England manager.
