The Football Association (FA) has confirmed that a list of potential candidates has been compiled to replace Gareth Southgate as the England national team manager.

According to reports, the FA has identified a number of suitable candidates to take over the role, although the names have not been disclosed.

This development comes as Southgate’s future as England manager remains uncertain, despite leading the team to the World Cup quarterfinals last year. The FA’s decision to explore alternative options suggests that Southgate’s position may be under review.

No further details have been released, but the news has sparked speculation about potential candidates who could take the reins of the national team. The FA is expected to make an official announcement in due course.
