FA make Man City boss Southgate top choice for Southgate successor

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola is the FA's prime choice to replace Gareth Southgate.

Southgate is expected to leave the England job after the Euro2024 finals in Germany next summer.

The Daily Mail says the FA will make an attempt to convince Guardiola to leave City before Southgate departs.

The Catalan is the dream name in the FA's search for a replacement.

Eddie Howe (Newcastle), Graham Potter, Mauricio Pochettino (Chelsea) and Brendan Rodgers (Celtic) were on the FA's radar last winter and are still expected to be relevant if Southgate leaves and they fail to convince Guardiola.
