Speaking to talkSPORT, former England striker Darren Bent suggested that Gerrard could be an ideal candidate for the role of England manager after Southgate. He said:
“It wouldn’t surprise me if he was one of the candidates for the England job next. I’m not saying that he should get it, but you know what the FA are like. They like people who have been in the system before.”
“He’s obviously played for England and he’s very much a company man, isn’t he? It wouldn’t surprise me. I just think that he could be one, certainly.” he added.
Prior to the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar, Southgate has lately faced criticism for England’s six-match losing streak. His current contract expires in December 2024. The Three Lions were most recently dropped to the UEFA Nations League’s lower division. Southgate received a new contract to the end of 2024 as compensation for guiding England to the Euro 2020 final. Additionally, he led England to the 2018 World Cup semifinals. The Three Lions were kicked out of the top division of the Nations League due to poor performance over the previous 12 months.

They finished last in Group 3 with just three points after failing to win any of their six group games. But at competitions, Southgate has demonstrated the capacity to get the greatest performance from his players. But if they don’t get going in Qatar, he’ll probably either step down or get fired after the Middle East competition.

In less than a month, England will compete in the World Cup in less than perfect shape. The Three Lions have lost each of their previous six games, and their future plans are far from finalised. The Three Lions, who are now ranked fifth in the world, were placed in Group B with the United States, Wales, and Iran. The quadrennial competition is scheduled to begin on November 20 and conclude on December 18.
