Is there a possibility that Ange Postecoglou could take over as the next England manager, replacing Gareth Southgate? The Tottenham manager has been linked to the position, but he has made it clear that he is not interested in leaving his current post.
After Southgate's resignation following England's loss in the Euro 2024 final, the Football Association is on the hunt for his successor. Names like Eddie Howe, Graham Potter, Lee Carsley, and Mauricio Pochettino are at the top of their list. However, the FA is also open to hiring a foreign manager, such as Pep Guardiola or Sarina Wiegman.
Postecoglou's name has also been thrown into the mix, especially after his impressive management style and immediate impact at Spurs last season. The team finished fifth in the table, playing an attacking style of football that was a welcome change from their past few seasons under previous managers.
But despite the FA's interest, Postecoglou has made it clear that he is solely focused on his current role at Tottenham. In a recent interview after their 5-1 friendly win against Hearts, he said, "I'm in the middle of pre-season. I'm the Tottenham manager and my only goal is to bring success to this football club. Until I do that, there's no point in me thinking about anything else."
When asked about the possibility of managing England in the future, Postecoglou remained non-committal, saying, "Five years ago, I was in Japan. Now I'm in the Premier League. Who knows where I'll be in five years? I could be back in Japan or on a beach somewhere. It's not something I think about."
Postecoglou does have previous experience in international football, having managed Australia for four years and winning the 2015 Asian Cup. But for now, his focus is on preparing Tottenham for their upcoming season, starting with a pre-season match against QPR on Saturday.
The next England manager odds are still up in the air, with names like Eddie Howe and Graham Potter leading the pack. But as for Postecoglou, he remains focused on bringing success to Tottenham and has no plans of leaving anytime soon.
