Who managed England after Sven-Göran Eriksson?

Sven-Göran Eriksson’s departure as England manager in 2006 set off a managerial carousel that would shape the team’s destiny over the next decade.

Steve McClaren, Eriksson’s former assistant, took the reins but faced swift criticism for his cautious strategies and a failure to qualify for Euro 2008, culminating in a dramatic defeat to Croatia in 2007.

Afterwards came Fabio Capello, the seasoned Italian who instilled discipline and structure, propelling England to the top of FIFA’s world rankings in 2008.

Despite successful qualifiers, Capello’s teams fell short in the quarter-finals of Euro 2008 and the 2010 World Cup, leading to his resignation in 2012.

Roy Hodgson, renowned for defensive prowess, stepped in next. While Euro 2012 saw early elimination, Hodgson redeemed himself with a top-four finish in the 2014 World Cup and Euro 2016 before stepping down post the latter tournament.

The managerial saga continued with Sam Allardyce, whose stint ended abruptly after a single game due to a newspaper sting operation.

Gareth Southgate took charge in 2016, guiding England to the semi-finals of the 2018 World Cup and Euro 2020, marking a newfound optimism and progress for the national team.
