		</div><p>Gareth Southgate could be named England manager as early as Monday, with reports suggesting the Football Association has already offered him the job.</p>
<p>Southgate&#8217;s appointment is considered a fait accompli after he impressed a five-man interview panel at St George&#8217;s Park, underlining the groundwork already undertaken during a four-match stint as interim boss.</p>
<p>The fact that no further interviews have been conducted effectively settled the matter in Southgate&#8217;s favour but it was initially thought a final announcement would not take place until it had been ratified at an FA board meeting on Wednesday.</p>
<p>But reports in The Sun and Daily Telegraph suggested a firm offer has already been made and a deal could be made public at the start of next week.</p>
<p>The FA did not comment on the process when contacted by Press Association Sport.</p>
<p>Southgate was quizzed about his vision of the future for three hours by FA chairman Greg Clarke, chief executive Martin Glenn and technical director Dan Ashworth, with League Managers&#8217; Association chairman Howard Wilkinson and former England left-back Graeme Le Saux also attending in an advisory capacity.</p>
<p>The quintet are thought to have reached a swift consensus that the former Middlesbrough manager was the right candidate to succeed Sam Allardyce and subsequent discussions have centred around logistical issues such as the terms of a mooted break clause in the contract.</p>
<p>Whereas Allardyce was contracted on an initial two-year deal, with the option to extend after the 2018 World Cup, Southgate is likely to be given a deal through to 2020 with a window to review his position after next summer&#8217;s tournament.</p>
<p>Staffing matters such as the role of Steve Holland, who could move permanently to the FA payroll despite Chelsea&#8217;s desire to keep him on their staff, have also taken time.</p>
<p>Holland has continued to hold down his job with the Blues during his time assisting Southgate at under-21 and senior level but that arrangement seems destined to end.</p>
<p>Chelsea are unlikely to stand in Holland&#8217;s way but may require compensation.</p>
<p>Southgate is also a strong believer in working closely with the under-21s and will have offered a strong opinion on his successor with the Young Lions.</p>
<p>Aidy Boothroyd stepped up from the under-20s during Southgate&#8217;s own temporary move but other names, notably Phil Neville, have been linked.</p>
