Let’s get Gareth

the salaries paid to Premier League managers.

But he said: “He has been absolutely brilliant. We would like him to stay beyond 2020. We are a sports governing body, not Manchester United. We could never compete with the Premier League in terms of pay.

“He is on holiday and I think we’ll talk about that when he gets back.

“Obviously it is our job to make it competitive for him and all of our people. What is competitive is always the question.”

Southgate, 47, would be an obvious club target after he took England to the semi-finals in Russia.

He has Premier League experience, taking Middlesbrough to 12th in his first season in charge.

Glenn said: “Gareth has really blossomed and it was absolutely fantastic seeing him at first hand under pressure situations.

“He has been the definition of the modern manager, which we want.

“He gets the fact that it is not just about picking the team, it is about all the aspects behind the team.

“At some point Gareth may well be successful as a manager and he may choose to try and do something different.

“He has been excellent, he really gets the set-up, he understands the talent coming through and we’d like him to stay until after 2020.”

Meanwhile, the FA confirmed they are considering bidding to host the 2030 World Cup.
