England is wrongly placed at the level of the national team. Gareth Southgate’s departure after the Euro Cup caught British football leaders off guard, who went to work looking for assurances. Meanwhile, Lee Carsley takes over as permanent coach. The coach, however, has already ruled out a bid to take part in the 2026 World Cup.
The English Federation has a name written in red in its copy: Pep Guardiola. In fact, contact with Santpedor’s coach began after Southgate’s resignation. There was first contact in September with the City coach. However, the Catalans have not made a decision about his future. He does not know whether to continue on the Manchester City bench or accept new challenges in his long and successful career.. The former Barça player has said that his idea is to lead the national team and the opportunity to do so is on the table. England will wait for him, but it is not known for how long.
Thomas Tuchel is one of those who stood for this position. The FA does not want to put all its eggs in the same basket, and from the United Kingdom they are already saying that the federal leaders are already in talks with the German. Tuchel is without a team after leaving Bayern Munich last summer and his appearance was linked with various clubs, among them Barcelona and Juventus. The German has experience in the Premier League since coaching and leading Chelsea to win the 2021 Champions League. it leads to internal conflict in the FAsince they tend to sign an English teacher orsomeone with as much unity as Guardiola.

Capello, the last guest
The ‘Three Lions’ experience with a foreign coach was unsuccessful. Fabio Capello left through the back door in 2012 after leading the British team and that is why the FA is now looking for a proven coach, a safe bet. The ball is in Pep Guardiola’s court, who, however, is delaying his decision longer than he would like.. The position of an English teacher is one of the highest paid in the world. Southgate earned around 7 million euros a year, although Guardiola will value the game more than the economy.
