Steve Cooper tipped as Gareth Southgate successor as England await decision

The current Three Lions manager cast doubt over his future following the World Cup quarter-final loss against France on Saturday night. Olivier Giroud’s header proved to be the difference between the two sides as captain Harry Kane missed the chance to equalise from the spot in the closing minutes of the game.

The England squad arrived back from the tournament last night with the squad members due to join up with their clubs ahead of the return of the Premier League in two weeks time. Speaking after the loss against France, Southgate said that he needed time to make a decision over his future.
