What England need now is a winner.
Luis de la Fuente, who has just won the Euros with Spain, and Lionel Scaloni, who won the Copa America and World Cup with Argentina, both came through their national team’s system.
When England have gone for the big names in the past it hasn’t worked particular well.
I can understand looking at people on the market like Thomas Tuchel or Mauricio Pochettino, but I would prefer the idea of appointing one of your own.
Eddie Howe is probably the best English manager on the market but he is in a really good job at Newcastle, so could he be tempted?
Graham Potter might find himself more suited to a job like England than he was to a job like Chelsea.
It is going to be hard to follow Gareth Southgate.
