On whether he would consider taking the job one day, Howe added: āIāve never really thought about international football, for me personally. Who knows that will happen in the future.ā
Howe is currently hoping to lead Newcastle into European football next season with their present sixth place potentially good enough for the Europa League.
Southgate is fine-tuning plans for England at Euro 2024 in Germany, with their first game against Serbia on June 16.
Howe added that he believes English football has the best pyramid system for developing both players and managers.
āThere are some good English and British coaches in not just the Premier League but in the Championship and lower leagues,ā he said.
āIām a firm believer in that process that if you canāt start with a high-profile job in the Premier League, then I think you must earn it.
āI didnāt really set up with that aim, it was just a case of trying to survive and be as successful as I could, and ultimately, I ended up having success.

Howe said he hasnāt considered international management so far in his career but certainly wouldnāt rule it out in the future
āThere are some good coaches and I think we have the best pyramid system for developing players and managers ā the younger guys coming through have just got to keep being successful.
āSometimes youāre fighting against the grain because youāre fighting against possibly bigger clubs and bigger budgets but somehow, youāve got to find a way.ā
