Southgate signed a new deal until 2022 which will take him up to the Qatar World Cup, however, the FA are already making plans for their next step after Southgate.

As reported by The Daily Mail, Bournemouth's Eddie Howe and Burnley's Sean Dyche are the most experienced manager on the list that also includes first time managers Steven Gerrard at Rangers and Frank Lampard at Derby.

There's still over two years until the FA will potentially have to make a decision, but they are clearly planning for a future without Gareth Southgate, if he does not intend to stay on after the 2022 World Cup.

No matter what happens after the 2022 World Cup, England's national team will be awash with exciting talent. Jadon Sancho, Aaron Wan Bissaka, Phil Foden and co. all look set to become some of the world's best leading up, and after, the Qatar World Cup.
