Lee Carsley has been named the interim head coach of England for the start of their upcoming Nations League campaign, the English Football Association (FA) confirmed on Friday.

Carsley will be in charge of England's September fixtures against the Republic of Ireland and Finland, while the FA continue their search for a permanent manager.

The 50-year-old has been promoted from his position as head coach of the men's under-21 side, who he led to glory at the U21 European Championship in 2022.
