Gareth Southgate has left his role as England manager.
The news comes two days after England’s Euro 2024 final defeat to Spain.
“It’s time for change, and for a new chapter,” said Southgate.
The 53-year-old had been Three Lions boss for eight years and exits the role after a fourth major tournament in charge, saying playing and then managing his country “has been the honour of my life and meant everything to me”.
FA chief executive Mark Bullingham says England aim to have to a new manager “as soon as possible” but that an interim boss will be in place “if needed” for the UEFA Nations League campaign, which begins against Republic of Ireland on Saturday September 7.
Bullingham said: “The process for appointing Gareth’s successor is now under way and we aim to have our new manager confirmed as soon as possible. We know there will be inevitable speculation, but we won’t be commenting further on our process until we appoint.
Ex-Chelsea, Tottenham and Paris Saint-Germain boss Pochettino is understood to be open to talks about the England role.
