Carsley will step up from his role in charge of the Men\u2019s U21 (MU21), initially for September\u2019s fixtures away to the Republic of Ireland and at home to Finland, but might remain in the position throughout autumn while the FA\u2019s recruitment process for a new permanent head coach continues.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cIt\u2019s an honour to step up and lead this England squad on an interim basis. As I am very familiar with the players and the cycle of international football, it makes sense for me to guide the team while the FA continues the process of recruiting a new manager. My main priority is to ensure continuity, and our goal is to secure promotion in the UEFA Nations League,\u201d said Carsley to England\u2019s media team.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The spot of the England head coach has been vacant since the 2024 Euros as Gareth Southgate, the man at the helm of the Three Lions for eight years, stepped down from his position following England\u2019s second consecutive loss in the finals of the European Championship.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The 50-year-old has been MU21 head coach since July 2021 and last year led the Young Lions to a first UEFA U21 European Championship since 1984. Before that, Carsley held various coaching roles across England\u2019s development teams and was briefly in charge of the MU20s.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Carsley also has extensive experience at club level having worked closely with the first teams at Coventry City, Sheffield United, Brentford, Manchester City and Birmingham City.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
As a player, the Birmingham-born midfielder made 340 top-flight appearances and won 40 caps for the Republic of Ireland including playing at the 2002 FIFA World Cup.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
