The England Under-20s manager, Ian Foster, has left the Football Association to work as assistant manager to Steven Gerrard in Saudi Arabia. Foster, a former Liverpool scholar who led England to the Under-19 European Championship title last year, has joined Gerrard at Al-Ettifaq.
Foster leaves the FA after six years working with various age groups. The 46-year-old, who joined after a spell as first-team coach at Portsmouth, was assistant to Steve Cooper when England won the Under-17 World Cup. Foster also served as an assistant to Phil Neville with England women.
