Ex-FA chief Bevington: Gareth Southgate only England candidate

Former FA chief Adrian Bevington says Gareth Southgate is the only candidate for the England job.

Southgate, 46, will meet the FA hierarchy on Monday for what is effectively his interview for the role.

"There is a board meeting on 30 November of the main FA board and I think Gareth will be the manager by then," Bevington told BBC Radio 5 live.

"I don't think they will be speaking to anybody else.

"I think Gareth is the only candidate because he has earned it, he should get it and he is the right man for the job."
