Lee Carsley named England’s interim manager


Lee Carsley has been appointed interim England manager for September’s Nations League games as the search for Gareth Southgate’s successor continues.

The 50-year-old has stepped up from his role as England Under-21 boss to replace Southgate, who resigned two days after defeat by Spain in the Euro 2024 final last month.

“As I am very familiar with the players and the cycle of international football, it makes sense for me to guide the team while the FA (Football Association) continues the process to recruit a new manager,” said Carsley.

“My main priority is to ensure continuity and our goal is to secure promotion in the Uefa Nations League.”
