Yeah I think there's a real chance we could get him Carsley as interim, Pep as manager long term. Pep won't go to PSG, no achievement, too boring for him. Italy... eh, I don't think he'll ever go there. He's done Spain, Germany and England. International football is left. Join the dark side pep, Join the dark side and become our Palpatine lol.
Balague has long said that Pep will go into international football after City and that England is one of the sides he's interested in managing. Carsley as interim is the perfect fit as well given he has worked under Pep's system at City.
It is by no means certain that Guardiola will leave City next summer. Even if he does, he won't announce it until next spring at least, otherwise he'll end up like Klopp at Liverpool. That way, you can't plan ahead at all.

Not sure it would piss them off but they would laugh their heads off knowing we would be annoyed at that appointment! Heavens forbid that would ever happen!
Conor Coady has said on a podcast he would like an Englishman to get the role. Spoiler (Move your mouse to the spoiler area to reveal the content) Show Spoiler Hide Spoiler For any manager going into that job now it is an incredibly exciting prospect. The young players you will have at your disposal, the players that are now coming to fruition in major tournaments, the squad have just competed in another European final so the experience they have gained under Gareth [Southgate] is brilliant. The choice of next manager is a really tough one. The one thing with me is that, I think I speak on behalf of a lot of English people when I say I love watching my country play, and to have an Englishman leading the country is a big thing. The FA will pick the best man for the job and who they think is the best suited for the role. But if we can go English with it and give the opportunity to one of the best English managers out there, which there are a few about now, that would be a brilliant case. Having an Englishman leading our country would be fantastic. Meanwhile the BBC are saying Tuchel wants it but doesn’t expect to be contacted and that Eddie Howe does expect to be contacted.
Eddie Howe and Graham Potter the leading candidates for England job, but being English is not a criterion in the search, to be led by John McDermott. Pochettino and Tuchel open to it, timing not right for Klopp. https://t.co/HHKTK9l8J1— Jack Pitt-Brooke (@JackPittBrooke) July 17, 2024 Article says Carsley is not certain to be the interim manager if one is needed.
If they can offer the right financial package then why not? It’s not like they are the USA of 30 years ago.
"The FA should move fast. There doesn’t need to be a committee and lengthy appraisals or deep dives into data analytics. It’s a yes or no answer. Eddie Howe is the best man to succeed Gareth Southgate as England manager, and we can all see that"✍️ Martin Samuel— Times Sport (@TimesSport) July 17, 2024 He is not very impressed by the idea of Potter (Using Cucurella as a example) and thinks Pochetino or any foreigner is cheating
I think they have a lot more potential than the days of Roy Wegerle etc. They seem to be doing pretty well with development compared to those years even though they still have to depend on other nations to help. I look at them and think they have potential even though results maybe aren’t there.
Does Guardiola not want Spain because of his Catalan stance? He did play for Spain but he's always said he believes Catalonia should be independent. I'm curious as to who he supported in the final.. I'd love Guardiola with Carsley as assistant. I also think Poch, Tuchel would be great appointments. Not that keen on Howe but tbh I think all would be a step up from Southgate tactically
Spain would never hire him - the Madrid based establishment tend to hate him because of his pro Catalan independence views.

Howe is the current favoured candidate but Newcastle very resistantFA have floated ideas like waiting for GuardiolaThe important thing is perpetuating Southgate’s culture while improving tacticshttps://t.co/sR7Hb5tsO8— Miguel Delaney (@MiguelDelaney) July 17, 2024
Hiring Eddie Howe to improve the tactical approach? I know the bar was extremely low on the tactical side under Southgate but this is really perplexing. Doesn’t feel like much thought is going into this. What exactly is the argument for placing Howe as the number 1 target?
I know the answer to this The press want an English manager rather than a foreigner and to maintain a positive relationship between the press and the FA it is important for the FA to listen to the press. I think that's right
The argument is probably that Howe is currently the most successful English club manager. I don't think he's in any way poor tactically, despite his flaws. He's also shown a strong ability to develop and improve. His OOP coaching has improved significantly between his time at Bournemouth and his time at Newcastle.
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/footbal...r-should-be-english-southgate-replacement-fa/ England manager should be English – the FA must not look elsewhere The problem is that the Football Association has not done a good job of lining up the next generation of elite-level coaches Spoiler (Move your mouse to the spoiler area to reveal the content) Show Spoiler Hide Spoiler The next England manager should be English, otherwise the point of elite international football – that which takes the measure of a football nation in all its aspects – is lost. The game’s strongest, best-resourced nations should not be in a position where they think the homegrown coaching talent is so thin that they have to look elsewhere, and yet for England that is a possibility now in the aftermath of Gareth Southgate’s departure. There have been eight years to prepare for this. The Football Association, having appointed the last senior team manager from the Under-21s amid a crisis, should have used that role to develop the man it believed was Southgate’s natural successor. Perhaps the FA believes that to be true of Lee Carsley, who did a fine job winning last summer’s European Championship with the Under-21s. He, and his assistant Ashley Cole, will most likely have an interim period in charge because the squad for the Nations League game against the Republic of Ireland will have to be selected in around six weeks. Yet nothing suggests Carsley is the FA’s first choice. If the FA had any doubts that he would be a suitable successor for Southgate when the time came – why was he in the post? Carsley is Irish in terms of his Fifa affiliation and won 40 caps for Ireland, making his debut in 1997. He is England-born and a part of the St George’s Park coaching system that has produced some successful club managers from the junior national teams including Steve Cooper and Rob Edwards, both of whom are Welsh – although the latter through his parents. When the new era of player development and coach education was launched at St George’s Park 12 years earlier, the aim was to produce coaches as well as players. Planning for the next England manager is not an easy business and one has some sympathy with the FA in that respect. It is at the mercy of the club game in more ways than one, especially with the paucity of English managers. In the past the FA used its relative wealth to challenge in the club market. It sounded out Arsene Wenger when he was one of the highest-paid Premier League managers. It appointed Sven-Goran Eriksson in 2000 and then Fabio Capello in 2007, the latter on a £6 million annual deal which was the biggest the FA has ever paid. The FA is no longer able to outbid leading European clubs. The going rate is just too high, and at the very top it would be fanciful to think the wages paid to the likes of Jurgen Kloppand Pep Guardiola, upwards of £15 million a season with many other bonuses included, would be viable for what is a not-for-profit governing body. Albeit one that paid Southgate around £5 million annually and its chief executive Mark Bullingham £850,000. There is a suitable English candidate in Eddie Howe, a successful Premier League manager who has had a season in the Champions League and knows the game across all four divisions. In previous generations, a manager of Howe’s status would have regarded the England job as the pinnacle of his profession. Bobby Robson did, a Uefa Cup winner with Ipswich Town, and so too Brian Clough, twice a European Cup winner and the greatest English manager who never led England. But the club game is so powerful now that it is no longer the case. The club game pays more. It dominates the conversation in all but the brief tournament windows. The clubs hold the balance of power in the game in most aspects where once the FA was the English game’s greatest power. A manager at the top of a leading club is at the head of a vast resource, of a first-team squad, of developing talents on loan, of a huge academy. An England manager borrows these resources from others. Howe might look at the damage the England job has wrought on other careers and wonder why he would take a paycut to do it. Even for the likes of Graham Potter and Frank Lampard, out of work and more viable targets for the FA, that risk to their careers remains high. When the FA poached Eriksson, a Serie A champion at Lazio, or later tried to get Luiz Felipe Scolari as his successor and then around a year later turned to Capello there was a clear pattern playing out. That the English FA was using its wealth to solve a bad situation of the English game’s own making. That it had failed to produce an English coach capable of the job. It also fundamentally misunderstood that club success, certainly in Capello’s case, was not easily translatable to the business of international football or indeed the unique role of the England manager. That is what Southgate has done so well. He could handle the fallout from the scrapes the players got themselves into, the politics, the conflicts, and he twice took the team to a final. While all that peripheral business feels like it should be separate to what happens on the pitch, ultimately it always seeps through. The FA has done a good job over the last 10 years at preparing the high quality of English players coming through the club academies for the demands of international football. It has done less well at lining up the next set of England managers. Again, one looks to Spain and how seamlessly Luis de la Fuente came through a system from Under-21s to senior team and now finds himself a European champion. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/footbal...p-german-england-manager-gareth-southgate-fa/ Who cares if Jurgen Klopp is German? England should offer him the world Paucity of silverware won by Englishmen in recent years is one reason FA should push boat out to get former Liverpool manager on board Spoiler (Move your mouse to the spoiler area to reveal the content) Show Spoiler Hide Spoiler It has become an implacable conviction, the notion that the next England manager needs to be English. You hear it articulated by everybody from Gary Neville, whose brilliance in international coaching spans one World Cup group-stage exit and the night of shame against Iceland, to Sam “100 per cent win ratio” Allardyce, who will always have that single 2016 victory in Slovakia. As an ideal, it is noble enough. But as a principle for strengthening the national team in the post-Gareth Southgate era, it is anything but convincing. To agitate for the full English is to believe in a bloodline of homegrown winners. But for all that deathless Football Association talk of “DNA”, coaching pedigree is one fundamental that the country has not worked out how to replicate. The last English manager to win any men’s trophy of significance is Harry Redknapp, with the 2008 FA Cup. The last to win the league? Howard Wilkinson in 1992. And the last to lift the European Cup? Joe Fagan in 1984. The paucity of silverware is one of the many reasons why Southgate’s failure to haul himself across the line in Berlin brought such agony. It is also a reminder that going native in the search for his successor is far from a guarantee that anything will change. This is where Jürgen Klopp comes into the equation. At first glance, the idea looks fanciful. He is happily in sabbatical mode and intends to be so for another year. The only job beyond Liverpool in which he has openly expressed interest is with Germany, although for now Die Mannschaft seem wedded to Julian Nagelsmann. But where he has ruled out taking charge of any other Premier League clubs for the rest of his career, he has conspicuously not mentioned the national side. All of which creates the tantalising hypothesis that Klopp could, come next summer, be open to the FA’s persuasion. It was striking to hear Mark Bullingham, the governing body’s chief executive, talk upon Southgate’s departure of there being an “interim solution in place if needed”. For if there is even a scintilla of a chance of Klopp becoming available in 12 months’ time, the FA needs to go for broke to entice him. Too expensive a choice? Forget it. They lured Fabio Capello on more than £6 million a year 17 years ago. The sheer cachet of Klopp would render the money incidental. Capello’s reign, marked by England performances that were as joyless as the man on the touchline, is often cited as a warning against looking abroad again. There is one crucial difference, though, with the Klopp situation. Neither Capello nor Sven-Goran Eriksson, the only two foreign managers the FA has appointed to lead the men’s team, had coached in England prior to their arrival. As such, both made conspicuous misjudgments: Eriksson by underestimating Fleet Street’s fascination with his private life, Capello by disdaining any connection with the public to such a degree that his English barely improved in five years. With Klopp, there would be no such dangers. His understanding of English society and culture is so nuanced that the German Embassy in London acclaim him as one of their country’s finest ambassadors. He has assimilated so effortlessly into life on Merseyside that he is only the second foreign-born person to receive the freedom of the city of Liverpool, after Nelson Mandela. Most importantly, his mastery of the Premier League brooks no argument. One title and two of the four highest points totals on record – all yielded with a gloriously high-intensity style focused on aggressive pressing – attest to his ability to transform any team he touches. With England, it is mouthwatering to contemplate what he could achieve. The primary frustration with Southgate in Germany was that several of the most glittering Premier League talents, from player of the season Phil Foden to Arsenal’s master orchestrator Declan Rice, seemed to take a step backwards from the club form. Beyond the lumpen abuse towards the manager, there was a powerful collective view that this England side should have been capable of greater style, greater energy, greater clarity as to what they were trying to accomplish. Turning to Klopp would be a statement of boldness like no other. As the succession planning begins, the idea that an English candidate is required to keep the Southgate candle burning has to be shelved. It is out of step with modern sporting realities. Look at rugby union: did anyone object when Eddie Jones, pulsing with Australian mischief, arrived at Twickenham in 2015 and promptly won 18 straight Tests? And what about cricket? The Bazball phenomenon that has so electrified the English audience is named after head coach Brendon ‘Baz’ McCullum of New Zealand. I did not hear any of the 87,000 people at Wembley object, either, when the Lionesses lifted England’s curse in 2022 by winning a European Championship under Sarina Wiegman of the Netherlands. None of the little girls inspired by that feat were inclined to place an asterisk beside it, or to regard it as some diminished Anglo-Dutch hybrid. There would be the same unfettered joy if Klopp could somehow push England over their final hurdle. And that is why there should be no hesitation in considering him. The FA can wait a year if necessary: who cares about the next few fixtures in any case, in the unglamorous second division of the Nations League? If England are truly serious about winning the World Cup, they need to give Klopp the world.
I’m not sure how popular the Diego Simeone approach will be with those who don’t like time wasting and want front foot football from the starting to the full time whistle.

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/footbal...nd-manager-ange-postecoglou-gareth-southgate/ Ange Postecoglou among England targets to replace Gareth Southgate Exclusive: Australian is highly rated by John McDermott, who is charged with appointing a successor to Southgate Spoiler (Move your mouse to the spoiler area to reveal the content) Show Spoiler Hide Spoiler Ange Postecoglou is expected to be on the list of candidates being considered to become the next England manager. The Tottenham Hotspur head coach has been tracked by the Football Association for years. FA technical director John McDermott has followed Postecoglou’s career closely from Australia to Japan to Scotland and now into the Premier League and is an admirer of his work. McDermott is compiling an initial shortlist to succeed Gareth Southgate with the FA not ruling out the prospect of an interim manager being in charge for the Nations League ties away to the Republic of Ireland on September 7 and at home to Finland three days later. The favourite to fulfil that role would be England Under-21 coach Lee Carsley who is highly rated within the FA, winning the European Championship last year. Even though Carsley is a former Irish international – albeit qualifying through his grandmother having been born in Birmingham – he would be considered. The FA are relaxed about the prospect of employing an interim – Southgate was that initially after the departure of Sam Allardyce after just 67 days in 2016 – but would obviously prefer to have a permanent appointment in place. However, they are prepared to wait for the right candidate. The FA has always had a ‘what if’ plan should Southgate leave after the Euros which covered various scenarios. This included the possibility of employing an interim at some point. The organisation wanted Southgate to stay, come what may, and made it clear he would be offered a new contract if that was of interest to him. His deal ran until December 31 but Southgate informed the FA on Monday evening that he was stepping down. As it begins the process to find Southgate’s successor, the FA believes that he has made the England job more appealing having reached the final in two European Championships, the World Cup semi-final and a quarter-final and with the crop of players available. Eddie Howe, Graham Potter, Mauricio Pochettino and Carsley are among the front-runners to replace Southgate. Newcastle United have made it clear they are ready to fight to try to keep Howe, although the 46-year-old would be left with a decision to make if an approach from the FA was ultimately accepted. Potter and Pochettino are believed to be interested in the post, while former Chelsea and Bayern Munich coach Thomas Tuchel would also be open to an approach - underlining how attractive the England manager’s job currently is. These managers would, however, have to accept a salary less than they would expect in the Premier League. The FA can pay up to £4 million to £5 million which is now considered towards the lower end of the scale. Sarina Wiegman is not under consideration, having extended her contract as the head coach of the England Women’s team until 2027. Postecoglou would fit the criteria being set out by the FA for the new England manager with the organisation determined to cast its net far and wide to find the right candidate. The FA will not limit its shortlist to English managers and are prepared to hire a foreign coach. The 58-year-old signed a four-year deal with Tottenham last year, becoming the first Australian to manage in the Premier League. The FA are looking for a coach with good man-management skills and who can continue with the ‘culture’ that Southgate created. McDermott has followed Postecoglou’s career ever since he managed the Australian national team from 2013 to 2017, quitting just two weeks after securing qualification for the World Cup. Postecoglou took them to the previous tournament and won the Asian Cup. After that he spent three years in Japan with Yokohama F. Marinos before joining Celtic in 2023. Before England played Australia in a friendly last October, Postecoglou was asked whether he would consider managing his country again and ruled it out, arguing they are not really interested in football. He also appeared to dismiss the possibility of being considered as Southgate’s successor. “Oh, come on mate,” Postecoglou said when asked about that although he did add: “Stranger things have happened, but no. They’ve got a fantastic manager and I’m eight games into a Tottenham career. That’s how I think.” It remains to be seen whether he will think differently now Southgate has gone while it will also be extremely difficult to secure his release from his contract with Spurs if he was interested. Postecoglou led them to fifth in the league last season and earned plaudits for his attacking style of football and positive approach. Postecoglou worked as a pundit for ITV during the Euros and commented, before the final group game against Slovenia, that the England players needed to “play with a little bit more freedom and confidence”. “If you don’t get that at some point in the tournament it will get away from you,” he said. Postecoglou added that he wanted to “see players just playing in their natural positions to start with”.
