Following Gareth Southgate's resignation as England manager, the race to replace him as the national team's boss is now in full swing.

Among the favourites for the job is Newcastle manager Eddie Howe.

But which managers with North East connections have been linked to the England job and what prices are the bookmakers offering if they land the top job?

Eddie Howe - 9/4

Former Newcastle and England forward Michael Owen said he would "love" Howe in the job in a post on X.

Michael Carrick - 20/1

David Moyes - 25/1

A Scot, he may be an unpopular choice for the job with some fans who think the national team should be coached by a native.

Scott Parker - 33/1

That has not stopped bookies taking bets on him becoming England manager with a price of 33/1 being offered by some.

John Herdman - 40/1

He is seen very much as an outsider, having just taken the reins at Toronto FC in the last year.

Michael Beale - 40/1

(Image: Owen Humphreys) Sunderland fans are sure to have an opinion of this one! The former Rangers head coach lasted just 12 games on Wearside last season as Sunderland fell out of the playoffs and into midtable.

It's probably why he's not being offered as an option with many bookmakers, but some who are have priced him as low as 40/1.
