Last week Lee Carsley was announced as interim manager of the England men’s football team following Gareth Southgate’s departure.
The 50-year-old is following in the footsteps of the former Three Lions boss by stepping up from his role as coach of England Under-21s.
In a statement, Carsley said: “It’s an honour to step up and lead this England squad on an interim basis. 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 continues the process to recruit a new manager.
“My main priority is to ensure continuity and our goal is to secure promotion in the UEFA Nations League.”
