The FA has made a big decision that could affect who is appointed to replace Gareth Southgate.
The FA is currently looking for a new manager for the England men's team after Southgate resigned a day after losing to Spain in the EURO 2024 final.
Newcastle boss Eddie Howe is one of the favorites to take over, as is Graham Potter, who has been out of a job since leaving Chelsea 16 months ago.
However, the FA are now said to have made a major decision that could see another candidate.
According to "The Guardian", the FA has given official approval for the appointment of a foreign coach.
The decision suggests the FA is open to going against tradition by appointing a foreign coach.
Sven-Goran Eikson and Fabio Kapelo are the only two non-English coaches who have taken charge of the "Three Lions" in the past.
It is understood that during the board's discussions, Sarina Wigman's success in leading England to victory in the European Women's Championship in 2022 was used as a positive example of hiring a foreign coach.
The FA's decision could result in the appointment of either Mauricio Pochettino or Tomas Tuhel, the two main foreign candidates.
England Under-21 manager Lee Carsley is expected to take charge of the Three Lions in their Nations League clash against the Republic of Ireland on September 7.
