Southgate: England interim boss completes interview

By Daily Sports on November 22, 2016

Gareth Southgate's three-hour interview for the permanent England manager's job has finished and is understood to have gone smoothly, although no announcement is expected until 30 November.

The 46-year-old, who has just concluded a four-game stint as interim manager following Sam Allardyce's departure, is the only candidate.

The England Under-21 coach was interviewed by a five-person panel but no announcement is expected until any appointment is ratified at a full FA board meeting at the end of the month.

The panel comprised FA chairman Greg Clarke, chief executive Martin Glenn, technical director Dan Ashworth, League Managers' Association chairman Howard Wilkinson and former England defender Graeme Le Saux.

"The FA has to be seen to be going through the process," ex-FA chief executive Mark Palios told the BBC's Victoria Derbyshire programme.

"Maybe it is a process to iron out some things they expect of an England manager, so it is more of a briefing for Southgate than an interview.

"Everyone knows Gareth. They know him from around the FA, they know him through his involvement with the under-21s."

Meanwhile, it appears unlikely the FA will take action against England and Liverpool midfielders Jordan Henderson and Adam Lallana after reports they visited a strip club while on international duty.

The pair allegedly made the trip a day after a World Cup qualifying win over Scotland and less than three days before a draw in a friendly with Spain.

Southgate has left England top of their World Cup qualifying group after victories against Malta and Scotland and a goalless draw in Slovenia.

His last game as interim manager almost resulted in a win over Spain but England were denied victory by two late goals.

England next play in March, with a friendly against World Cup winners Germany in Dortmund, followed by a home qualifier against Lithuania. (bbc.o.uk)
