Hodgson’s assistants Ray Lewington and Gary Neville will also step down from their roles.

Southgate is current manager of England Under-21s, where he has been manager since 2013 – he is the favourite ahead of Alan Pardew, Gary Neville, Eddie Howe, Brendan Rodgers and even Arsene Wenger.

Southgate has won 26 of his 33 matches in charge of the youngsters, drawing four and losing three.
