Soccer Aid 2023: Stormzy announced as England manager and issues immediate demand to stars

Stormzy has insisted England's players call him 'boss' or 'gaffer' rather than 'Mike' when he leads out a star-studded XI at this year's Soccer Aid match.

The musician, whose real name is Michael Omari, has been confirmed at the Three Lions boss for the charity match at Old Trafford in June. Stormzy will be helped out by a coaching team including former Spurs boss Harry Redknapp, current Chelsea women's manager Emma Hayes, actress Vicky McClure and ex-footballers David Seaman and Zavon Hines.

A number of full England internationals will feature in the side, which is made up of ex-pros and celebrities. Euros winner Jill Scott will wear the captain's armband, with Gary Neville and Jack Wilshere among the others involved.
