Pep Guardiola has been identified by the Football Association as their dream target, but they don\'t currently have optimism of being able to secure a deal.
England is searching for a replacement for Gareth Southgate. Interim manager Lee Carsley is no longer under consideration.
Guardiola\'s future with Manchester City is unclear, but the club desperately wants to sign him to an extension. Guardiola would need to take a significant pay cut from his City salary were he to take the England job. Guardiola said over the weekend that “anything can happen” in terms of his future.
Thomas Tuchel is another option, although he too would need to take a salary drop. He is believed to have reservations about the role. Eddie Howe and Graham Potter are the leading English candidates.
