Lee Carsley has opened up to feelings of self-doubt over his ability to manage England but has been emboldened by the success of his opening game against Republic of Ireland on Saturday.
The interim manager saw his team win 2-0 in Dublin, the goals from Declan Rice and Jack Grealish coming during a dominant first-half performance. It got England’s Nations League Group B2 campaign off to a good start and, more significantly, did likewise with Carsley’s audition to replace Gareth Southgate on a permanent basis.
