Lee Carsley announced as England's interim manager

Lee Carsley has turned to youth to kick off his reign as England’s interim manage by picking the uncapped Angel Gomes, Tino Livramento, Morgan Gibbs-White and Noni Madueke.

But there were no places for Marcus Rashford, James Maddison or Kyle Walker, while Kieran Trippier has retired from international football and Jude Bellingham is injured.

Carsley also brought back Jack Grealish, who was dropped by former manager Gareth Southgate for Euro 2024, along with Harry Maguire, who was ruled out of the tournament with injury, and Nick Pope.

And Carsley has given recalls to Rico Lewis and Levi Colwill, who have each only won one senior cap, as the Under-21 manager looks to the next generation.

Who is Lee Carsley? England choose Under-21s boss as interim manager to succeed Gareth Southgate

Lee Carsley has replaced Gareth Southgate to become the next England manager, on an interim basis.

Southgate stepped down after the crushing defeat to Spain in the final of Euro 2024 and speculation immediately spread with the FA assessing a number of options and initially eager to make a quick appointment before choosing to take their time to ensure the correct decison.

It means that a few weeks after that final loss in Germany, Carsley – the England Under-21 manager – has been put in charge for the Three Lions’ upcoming Nations League matches and is perhaps the surprise candidate to take the role permanently.

Interim boss Lee Carsley ponders first squad selection as England enter new era

Lee Carsley has plenty to ponder ahead of selecting his first England squad as interim manager on Thursday.

The Euro 2024 runners-up are entering a new era after Gareth Southgate called time on his eight-year reign following July’s deflating final defeat to Spain.

The Football Association’s recruitment process for his permanent successor continues, leading England Under-21s boss Carsley to be temporarily promoted to oversee the senior team.

The 50-year-old will speak to the media on Thursday for the first time since taking the reins, when he names his squad for September’s Nations League fixtures against the Republic of Ireland and Finland.

Carsley has been lined up to lead England in all six autumn internationals and announces his first selection just 46 days after the Euro 2024 final and 20 days after being placed in charge.
