The Three Lions' biggest win in the fixture since May 1975 has boosted the former defender's chances of stepping up from his role with the U21 side and getting the job permanently, but his reluctance to speak about that possibility continued with a friendly against Spain still to go as part of his four-game interim stint.
He said “There are no fears with the job, It would be easy to look at the negatives but to work with top players and in big matches is what I want to do. From that side, no. I've avoided answering that if it was right to assume he wants the job full-time because I don't think it's necessary. You just have to do the job. With respect, I've seen people in this sort of position before talk about how much they want the job and it becomes an irrelevance if you don't prepare the team well. So it's not really my decision, but I have loved doing it and I've seen some signs of progress with how we've played. From my point of view, it's been a brilliant experience.”
While Southgate appears to be the favourite for the job, the Football Association
will not start the formal process of finding a permanent manager until after
Tuesday's Wembley friendly against Spain.
FA chairman Greg Clarke,
technical director Dan Ashworth and
chief executive Martin Glenn will be
part of the decision-making process, along with League Managers Association
chairman Howard Wilkinson, the last
English title-winning manager and twice caretaker boss of the Three Lions.
