- The FA confirmed that they are already working on appointing the next manager
- Low is reportedly interested in the vacancy after Southgate’s resignation
Former German national team coach Joachim Low is reportedly interested in the vacant England role.
Low, 64, led his country to World Cup glory in Brazil in 2014 and was in charge of the team for 15 years.
He is said to be happy to talk to the FA following the resignation of Gareth Southgate, according to The Sun.
This comes after it was revealed Ange Postecoglou is reportedly on the list of candidates the FA are considering for the next England manager.
A number of candidates have been linked with the England job so far, including Eddie Howe, Thomas Tuchel, Graham Potter and Jurgen Klopp.
Joachim Low’s last game in charge of Germany was against England at Euro 2020, and he is now interested in replacing Gareth Southgate following his resignation
Southgate resigned following England’s Euros final defeat by Spain on Sunday
Low has not managed a team for three years but is keen to get back on the touchline
However, it is understood that Tuchel and Klopp are not realistic prospects at this stage.
Low’s last game before stepping down as German boss was the 2-0 defeat to Southgate’s England at Wembley in the last 16 at Euro 2020. The former Stuttgart and Fenerbahce manager has not worked since.
England’s Under 21s head coach Lee Carsley is reportedly in pole position to succeed Gareth Southgate as interim manager.
The former Everton player is highly likely to lead the Three Lions in their next international match against the Republic of Ireland in less than eight weeks’ time, according to The Sun.
The FA are expected to mirror the appointment of Southgate in 2016, who was promoted from Under 21s boss to England manager – also on an interim basis initially.
FA bosses have confirmed that they are looking at appointing a new manager, but they feel Carsley, 50, is best placed to take over for England’s next match.
