Following England’s loss in the 2024 European Championship final, Gareth Southgate resigned as manager. The FA is now seeking a replacement, and O’Neil is said to be on the shortlist. O’Neil’s impressive performance with Wolves has drawn attention, and he is considered a potential advocate for appointing another English coach. Despite Wolves’ potential reluctance to lose their manager, O’Neil’s experience as an English youth international and his dedication to English football could make it difficult for him to decline the position if offered.
Wolves manager Gary O’Neil has gained admirers within the English Football Association as the search for the England team’s new manager gets underway, according to talkSPORT.
Gareth Southgate has stepped down as England manager following his team’s defeat to Spain in the 2024 European Championship final.
The English Football Association are now looking for a replacement for him, with a number of candidates already being mooted, including Newcastle United manager Eddie Howe and former Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino.
Wolves must be wary, however, as manager O’Neil has admirers within the English Football Association.
His good work at Molineux was noticed and O’Neil would champion the appointment of another Englishman as manager.
Wolves would likely be reluctant to lose the 41-year-old given the job he has held since last year.
O’Neil played for England up to Under-21 level, but never made an appearance for the first team.
It could be incredibly difficult for him to turn down the England job if it is offered to him in the coming weeks and months.
