So Gareth Southgate has today resigned from his role as England Football Manager.
His record in the last 8 years includes 1. World Cup quarter-final, 1. World Cup Semi-final and 2 European Championship finals.
He had the best record of any manager who has held the position of England Manager. Only Sir Alf Ramsey has a better one in winning the World Cup in 1966.
I have been thinking over the last few days, suspecting he might leave, and looking back to the past managers we have had. We have had foreign coaches (Capello and Sven) to name a couple, but although they were both world class managers, but both failed. We have had some high-profile English Manager's Don Revie, Sir Bobby Robson, Roy Hodgson, Terry Venebles and Glenn Hoddle, none of which have achieved as much as Gareth Southgate.
My question is, who do you think should be the next England Manager? Should he be English? Could it be a woman?
Give us some names, I will add a poll, but don't want to preempt any choices you may have. Make sure that your suggestions should be pretty well known, (we don't want your son's or daughter Under-9 coach).
The final question is, do you think the FA will make a right decision or a political one?
The current England men's squad, and some who were not included, looks like they could be a threat in the World Cup in canada, USA and mexico in 2026. Let's hope they give it a run for our money.
