The Football Association is prepared to make Gareth Southgate interim England manager for the start of their World Cup qualifying campaign as it begins a global search for Roy Hodgson's successor.
Hodgson resigned after four years as manager following the humiliating Euro 2016 last-16 loss to Iceland in Nice on Monday.
FA chief executive Martin Glenn, sitting alongside an emotional Hodgson in Chantilly, even suggested the search could take months - bringing Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger into the equation as he enters the final year of his contract at Emirates Stadium.
Glenn, asked if England Under-21 boss Southgate could take charge for the opening qualifier against Slovakia in September, said: "We'll see.
"We'd like to get one for the first World Cup qualifier, but if we don't we have an interim plan in mind.
"We are not talking about names but it would be a pretty obvious one to pick."
