Lee Carsley Appointed Interim England Manager

Lee Carsley has been appointed interim head coach of England's senior men's football team following Gareth Southgate's resignation after the Euro 2024 final defeat to Spain. Carsley, who was the England Under-21 manager and led them to a European Championship victory in 2023, will oversee the team's Nations League campaign starting with matches against the Republic of Ireland and Finland in September. The Football Association (FA) has indicated Carsley could remain in charge throughout autumn as they continue their search for a permanent manager. FA CEO Mark Bullingham praised Carsley as a 'fantastic coach' familiar with many current senior players. Carsley aims to ensure continuity and secure promotion in the Nations League while the recruitment process is ongoing.
