FA chief executive Martin Glenn insists that Gareth Southgate's candidacy for the permanent England job will not be dependent on the next two games.

Football Association chief executive Martin Glenn has insisted that Gareth Southgate's candidacy for the permanent England job will not be affected by the results of the next two games.

Southgate is currently in interim charge of the national side following the departure of Sam Allardyce, who lasted just 67 days after he was caught up in The Telegraph's investigation into corruption in football.

The England Under-21 boss has already overseen a win and a draw in the Three Lions' World Cup qualifying campaign, and he will also be in charge for a qualifier against Scotland and a friendly with Spain next month.

"He's got the team for four games, up until the Spain game in mid-November. After that we don't have a game until March, so we've got a bit of time to think," Glenn told Sky Sports News.

"Gareth is a credible candidate, he knows the international set up, done great work with the U21s and wants to translate that across to the senior team.

"Even if he doesn't have a great next couple of games, he'll still be a good candidate. You don't judge a manager on one or two games."

Southgate has been in charge of the U21s since 2013.
