Lee Carsley set to take over England job as interim manager

England Under-21 manager Lee Carsley is anticipated to take over as interim head coach of the senior national team following Gareth Southgate’s departure.

The Football Association (FA) is actively searching for a new permanent manager after Southgate left his position following England’s defeat to Spain in the Euro 2024 final.

With upcoming Nations League fixtures against the Republic of Ireland and Finland, the FA needs a temporary solution, and BBC Sport reports that Carsley is set to be appointed on an interim basis.

While Carsley is considered a strong candidate for the permanent role, Liverpool’s Harvey Elliott has expressed support for this idea.

However, the FA is also considering foreign candidates, despite Jurgen Klopp and Pep Guardiola having already declined the opportunity.

Carsley might see this as a promising chance to transition from the Under-21s to the senior team, following the paths of previous managers like Southgate, Stuart Pearce, and Howard Wilkinson.

After leading the U21s to European Championship success last year, Carsley will aim to secure victories in the forthcoming Nations League matches.
