The Football Association has named Lee Carsley as England’s interim head coach as it continues its search for Gareth Southgate’s successor.

Carsley, who led England to victory in the European Under-21 Championship last summer, was regarded as a potential short-term replacement when Southgate stepped down after England’s defeat by Spain in the Euro 2024 final last month. Newcastle’s Eddie Howe, Graham Potter and Mauricio Pochettino are among the managers linked with the permanent role, although it is understood that there is no rush to appoint a permanent replacement for Southgate.
