Lee Carsley expected to take interim charge of England for Nations league

The search for Gareth Southgate's replacement - which Carsley is expected to be a permanent candidate for - remains ongoing following the national team boss' resignation two days after defeat to Spain in the final of Euro 2024.

Carsley is a former Premier League midfielder and the current England under-21s manager. Last summer, he led them to a first European Championship victory in 39 years.

The Football Association has not commented on any potential candidates or plans for next month’s matches.

In a statement in July, chief executive Mark Bullingham said: “Our UEFA Nations League campaign starts in September and we have an interim solution in place if it is needed.”

The next England squad is due to be named on August 29th.
