Read our privacy policy Lee Carsley has revealed the FA still have not asked him if he is interested in becoming the permanent England manager, but the interim coach described it as one of the best jobs in football. “If this was to end as soon as I walked out of the door, I’d be more than happy handing it over to whoever.” In July, England lost the Euro 2024 final to Spain, whose manager Luis de la Fuente had worked with their age-group sides before taking over the senior team – while Southgate had been in charge of England’s Under-21s before stepping up in 2016. Interim England manager Lee Carsley announced his first senior squad on Thursday “Ultimately this is up there with the best jobs in football. The best person for the job will do it.” Carsley was named interim manager after Southgate stepped down following the Euro 2024 final.
