Lee Carsley Takes Over as Interim England Manager.

Lee Carsley has been named interim England manager for the Nations League games in September while the Football Association searches for Gareth Southgate's replacement.

The 50-year-old Lee Carsley is stepping up from his role as England Under-21 manager to take the helm following Gareth Southgate’s resignation, which came just two days after their loss to Spain in the Euro 2024 final.

Carsley, who knows the players and the international football landscape well, believes his familiarity with the team makes him a natural fit for the interim role.

“My focus is on maintaining stability and our goal is to secure promotion in the UEFA Nations League,” Carsley said, as he guides the team while the FA searches for a new manager.
