The Football Association (FA) has announced that Lee Carsley, the current England Under-21 manager, will serve as the interim manager for the England senior team following Gareth Southgate's resignation after the Euro 2024 final defeat to Spain. FA CEO Mark Bullingham expressed confidence in Carsley's ability to lead the team through the UEFA Nations League games. Meanwhile, the FA board has given formal approval to consider foreign candidates for the permanent managerial role, with names like Mauricio Pochettino and Thomas Tuchel mentioned as potential successors. The recruitment process, led by Bullingham and technical director John McDermott, will involve creating a shortlist and conducting interviews before making a final decision. Southgate's eight-year tenure saw significant achievements, including reaching two European Championship finals and a World Cup semi-final, but ultimately ended without a major trophy.
