Gareth Southgate has stepped down as England manager after almost eight years, leaving a significant void in English football. Several potential candidates, including Lee Carsley and Eddie Howe, are being considered to replace Southgate. Steve McClaren, former England manager, is rumored to be a contender for the Nigeria national team's managerial role. Potential successors for the England manager position also include Michael Skubala and Chris Carrick, with their coaching backgrounds and achievements being highlighted. Lee Carsley, the current England Under-21 manager, is seen as a likely interim replacement for Southgate, providing the FA time to find a permanent successor before the upcoming Nations League games.
