Gareth Southgate Next Club Odds: Where next for the former England boss?

Update: 09.10.24

Rumours continue to circulate as to where former England boss Gareth Southgate will end up next and as things stand he remains one of the favourites to take charge at Manchester United, should Erik ten Hag be dismissed.

Job on the line

Erik ten Hag has a contract with the Red Devils which lasts until June 2026 but the chances that he will still be at Old Trafford at that date are very slim. Indeed, the Dutchman’s job is very much on the line following his side’s dreadful start to the season and should the club decide to part company with him, one of the favourites to replace him is none other than Gareth Southgate.

Red Devils

Indeed, Southgate hasn’t really been linked with many other clubs since stepping down from his position as England boss and he is by no means the only name in the frame to potentially succeed Ten Hag. Nevertheless, Southgate is third in the betting market at lowest odds of just 3/1 (biggest price 7/1) to take charge of Manchester United, behind Thomas Tuchel (best odds 9/4) and Ruud van Nistelrooy (best odds 5/1).

Turn things around

It remains to be seen whether Man United decide to give Ten Hag yet another chance to turn things around but the chances are that he will soon be looking for employment elsewhere. As far as Southgate is concerned, the former Three Lions manager also features in the ‘Next Tottenham Hotspur Manager’ market where he is a 14/1 shot to take the reins at White Hart Lane in the event that Ange Postecoglou decides to up sticks and moves elsewhere.

Update: 20.08.24

Former England boss Gareth Southgate continues to be linked with Manchester United despite the club recently extending Erik Ten Hag’s contract until June 2026.

Under fire

The odds on Gareth Southgate becoming the next manager of Manchester United have continued to shorten despite the fact that current boss Erik Ten Hag has a contract in place which could see him at the club until June 2026. Ten Hag came under fire last season and it came as a surprise to many when the board decided to keep him in the dugout with a contract extension.

Sack Race

Nevertheless, the Dutchman remains one of the favourites in the ‘Premier League Sack Race‘ betting market and should be given the push, then Gareth Southgate is deemed to be the man most likely to take his place, at least according to the bookmakers. Indeed, since resigning as England boss after Euro 2024, the odds on Southgate taking the reins at Old Trafford have shortened from 7/1 to a best price of just 9/4 (lowest odds 2/1).

New contract

With Ten Hag having been handed a new contract, the chances of him being dismissed seem rather remote, even if United get things off to a poor start this season. The Red Devils were unconvincing in their 1-0 win over Fulham on Friday evening but the Dutchman is likely to be in the dugout for the foreseeable future. Nevertheless, Southgate is certain to be foremost amongst the names linked with Premier League managerial positions when the inevitable sackings take place throughout the campaign.

Having announced his resignation as England manager and there have been suggestions that a move to Manchester United might be on the cards.

Without a trophy

It was disappointment for England in the Euro 2024 final when they lost 2-1 to Spain in Berlin and true to his word, Gareth Southgate handed in his notice after eight years in charge of the national team. Under Southgate, the Three Lions managed two European Championship finals as well as a World Cup quarter-final and semi-final, however the side are still without a trophy in almost 58 years.

Return to club football

Having accumulated a wealth of international managerial experience, Southgate has stated that he intends to make a return to club football, returning to the path which he once trod as Middlesbrough boss. Despite the fact that Erik Ten Hag has signed a new contract at Manchester United, the bookies make Old Trafford the most likely destination for Southgate at a best price of 2/1. Indeed, Southgate was linked with a move to the Red Devils amidst speculation that Ten Hag was to be dispensed with towards the end of 2023/24 and he was a frontrunner until Ten Hag penned a new deal with the club.

Prime of his playing career

Newcastle United are also seen as a possible destination for the former Three Lions boss at a best price of 6/1, current Magpies manager Eddie Howe favourite to take the reins at the national team. Crystal Palace are a 10/1 shot to secure the signature of Southgate while Aston Villa complete the top four in the betting at 12/1, the West Midlands club having Southgate on their books whilst he was in the prime of his playing career.
