Gareth Southgate is attracting interest from new Premier League owners while remaining a top contender for the Manchester United managerial position. The former England manager, 54, stepped down after the Euro 2024 final loss to Spain, ending his eight-year tenure with the national team.

Reports from talkSPORT indicate that Everton is considering Southgate to replace Sean Dyche, who is currently under pressure due to the team’s winless start to the season, which includes two matches where they led 2-0 but ultimately lost. With US billionaire Dan Friedkin set to take over the club, he may seek to make significant changes, including a managerial switch, either during the season or at its conclusion. Friedkin, who also owns Roma, aims to help Everton transition to their new Bramley-Moore Dock Stadium without debt.

Despite Southgate’s appeal, he faces competition for the United job, with current odds showing him as the favorite at 2-1, ahead of United assistant Ruud van Nistelrooy (11-4), Thomas Tuchel (7-2), and Kieran McKenna (7-1). Erik ten Hag’s recent struggles, including defeats to Brighton and Liverpool and a goalless draw with Crystal Palace, have intensified scrutiny on his position.

Southgate has indicated he is in no rush to make his next career move, suggesting it might not even be in football. Meanwhile, he has begun a role as a technical observer for UEFA, keeping himself involved in the sport while considering his future options.
