England fans now want him to join
England fans have named the man they want to succeed Gareth Southgate ahead of Euro 2024.
The Three Lions were beaten by Brazil in an international friendly in March and drew with Belgium thanks to Jude Bellingham's late equalizer, leaving some fans fearful of another summer disappointment for Germany.
Southgate's side are one of the favorites to win the competition and with the quality and depth of the squad everyone expects them to reach the final stages.
But some England supporters are unconvinced and want changes to be made. Some have even named the person they want, with many suggesting Jose Mourinho as the man for the position.
“There's absolutely no belief that Gareth Southgate will lead this England team to glory. Get Mourinho in. It won't be pretty and we won't win many overseas fans. But with some narrow 1-0 wins , a little luck and a certain winning mentality and belief, he can win the European Cup for us,” one fan wrote on X.
“We should honestly consider Mourinho as England manager,” another commented.
A third said: England need to sack Southgate without mercy and bring in Mourinho. He will win the European Cup this summer.
“It's not too late to get rid of Southgate before the Euros, Mourinho is already free,” echoed another.
Southgate's future to be decided after Euros
The 2024 World Cup in Germany will be Southgate's fourth major tournament.
The progress from his first appearance for England was for everyone to see, but there was a feeling that this might be the last chance to win anything.
His contract is set to expire at the end of the campaign and while contract negotiations are not yet on the to-do list, there is a growing sense that both men may be in need of a fresh start.
Manchester United is a possible option for the 53-year-old. It feels like every other day there's some connection tipping him over to replace Erik ten Hag in the summer.
Another option that popped up was also Liverpool. After all, they are looking for a head coach since Jurgen Klopp left this summer.
Former Liverpool and England international Glen Johnson even said he would be his first choice over the highly sought-after Xabi Alonso.
