Football Association (FA) CEO Mark Bullingham has hinted at a “succession plan” for England manager Gareth Southgate, but asserts that no discussions have taken place with potential replacements. Amid speculation about Southgate’s future, he suggested that the European Championship could be his last tournament if England fails in Germany. Southgate has been linked to a move away from England, particularly to Manchester United. Bullingham acknowledged the existence of a post-tournament review for Southgate’s potential departure, but confirmed that no talks with potential successors have occurred.
