The Football Association (FA) is currently looking for a new manager, marking the first time since 2016 that they have gone on the search for a new boss. In the meantime, Gareth Southgate, the current manager, has been taking a break.

He was spotted on vacation in the Algarve, Portugal with his wife Alison, enjoying a leisurely brunch. In his book, Southgate expressed his preference for his family not to be overly invested in the outcomes of his matches, ensuring that their evenings are not overshadowed by the results on the football field.

It has been confirmed by Gareth’s father that Alison isn’t very fond of football, but she supports Gareth in his role as the England manager. Despite Southgate’s break, there are reports linking him to potential managerial roles.

He is said to be the frontrunner for leading the upcoming Nations League matches in September. Lee Carsley has been the Under-21s boss since 2021, having first joined the FA system in 2020.

He led the under-21s to the Euros title last summer with some notable players. There are discussions about Southgate’s readiness to return to management, and there is speculation about Carsley potentially taking on the role of managing upcoming matches.

There is an invitation to share thoughts on who the next England manager should be. Additionally, there is mention of special offers, promotions, and advertisements for the community members.

Finally, there is a promotion for an A5 magazine filled with football content for fans of England’s best clubs.
