Pep Guardiola The Favourite To Replace Thomas Tuchel As England Manager

The next England manager odds market is live on-site after the Three Lions tame 2026 World Cup semi-final exit at the hands of Argentina.

Thomas Tuchel came under fire owing to his comments and tactical disaster-class after suffering a late 2-1 loss in Atlanta. The German gaffer saw his charges take the lead via Anthony Gordon and then preceded to shut up shop. With over 25 minutes left to play.

Ultimately, the 2022 champions scored twice in the last five minutes thanks to a long-range effort from Enzo Fernandez and an injury-time header from Inter Milan superstar Lautaro Martinez. A certain Lionel Messi provided both assists.

Tuchel boldly claimed he had ‘no regrets’ and insisted it was one of England’s ‘best games.’ Naturally, the English media have ridiculed the former Chelsea boss and many want to see him quit his role. If that were to happen, a super Spaniard heads the market.

Next England Manager Odds: Pep Guardiola Favourite For England Gig

Having released the next England manager odds market in the wake of the Three Lions defeat to Argentina, Pep Guardiola is the favourite to replace Thomas Tuchel. The Spaniard recently stepped down from his role as Man City boss after a trophy-laden ten-year spell at the Etihad.

Many fans have wanted to see Guardiola transform from club to international level and with a price of 11/4, our traders feel there is a strong possibility it could happen sooner rather than later. If Tuchel does go, it’ll certainly be a role that Pep would strongly consider.

Will Eddie Howe Be Named As The Next England Manager?

Despite struggling by his own high standards in 2025-26, Eddie Howe is the 7/2 second-favourite to be named the new England manager. The Newcastle boss has often been linked with the role and if the opportunity presents itself, it can’t be ignored lightly.

Howe has worked wonders at St James’ Park and has an abundance of experience under his belt. Something of which perhaps held him back prior to Thomas Tuchel’s appointment in January 2025. Elsewhere, former interim Lee Carsley is available at 6/1.
