Ten Hag, who took over in the summer of 2022 and won the FA Cup and Carabao Cup with the club, has now been dismissed with Ruud van Nistelrooy stepping in as interim boss.
The former Manchester United striker is favourite to get the job on a permanent basis but other candidates are in the running, including Xavi Hernandez, Julian Nagelsmann, Thomas Frank, Ruben Amorim and Southgate.

However, the former England manager spoke out on his future earlier this month and made it clear that he does not want to return to management any time soon.

‘I won?t coach in the next year, for sure,’ Southgate said at the ECA Europe general assembly. ‘I?m certain of that.
