England fans are clamouring for Graham Potter to be the next England manager.

The Three Lions' impressive 22-game unbeaten run - the longest streak for the nation - ended with a 1-0 UEFA Nations League defeat to Hungary at the Puskas Arena in Budapest on Saturday.

After Reece James was adjudged to have committed a clumsy foul RB Leipzig midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai scored a second-half penalty to give Hungary a first win over England in 60 years.

It was a below-par display from England, who barely offered anything going forward and bored their fans watching at home.

And though Gareth Southgate has guided England to a final and a semi-final in his two tournaments at the helm, fans want Brighton boss Potter in the hotseat.

The 47-year-old, who also managed Swedish outfit Ostersunds and Swansea City, was trending on Twitter after the Hungary loss.

And social media was awash with comments demanding the FA hire him:

Potter has received widespread praise for the job he has done at Brighton and the attractive style of football he has implemented at the East Sussex outfit.

The Seagulls finished ninth on 51 points last term, achieving their highest ever top flight finish and points tally.

Potter's contract with Brighton runs until 2025, while Southgate signed a new deal to remain as England boss until December 2024.

His initial deal had been due to expire after the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.

In his column for the Times, Henry Winter had said many within the England set-up see Potter as the "obvious long-term successor"

Winter wrote: "The Brighton and Hove Albion head coach is viewed by some around the England camp as Gareth Southgate’s obvious long-term successor and his popularity at the FA will have been enhanced by the way he set up his team tactically to negate Tottenham Hotspur’s strengths.”

Potter, who has a Master's degree in leadership and emotional intelligence, achieved three promotions with Ostersunds in Sweden and masterminded a win over Arsenal in the Europa League.
