England has announced that Lee Carsley will take over as interim coach of the national team following the departure of Gareth Southgate. Carsley, who currently manages England's under-21 team, will lead the senior squad in their upcoming Nations League matches against Ireland and Finland in September.
The English Football Association expressed gratitude to Carsley for stepping up while the recruitment process for a permanent coach continues. Southgate left his position after eight years, culminating in England's 2-1 loss to Spain in the European Championship final in July. Southgate had previously been promoted from the under-21s to the senior role in 2016, achieving notable success with the team.
