On Tuesday, Gareth Southgate left his role as England manager after the Three Lions defeat by Spain in the final of 2024 Euro.
Southgate said: "It's time for change, and for a new chapter."
The 53-year-old headed the Three Lions for eight years and the latest position was his fourth major tournament, describing playing and then managing his country "has been the honour of my life and meant everything to me".
Prince William, the President of FA posted on X: "Gareth, I want to thank you - not as the President of the FA, but as an England fan. Thank you for creating a team that stands shoulder to shoulder with the world’s finest in 2024. Thank you for showing humility, compassion, and true leadership under the most intense pressure and scrutiny. And thank you for being an all-round class act. You should be incredibly proud of what you’ve achieved."
FA chief executive Mark Bullingham said England aim to have to a new manager "as soon as possible" but there is a possibility to hire an interim coach "if needed" for the UEFA Nations League campaign, which kicks off on September 7 against Ireland.
Bullingham said: "The process for appointing Gareth's successor is now under way and we aim to have our new manager confirmed as soon as possible. We know there will be inevitable speculation, but we won't be commenting further on our process until we appoint."
