Lee Carsley set to take charge of England for Dublin clash against Ireland - reports

England U21 boss is expected to take the senior job on an interim basis following Gareth Southgate’s exit.

LEE CARSLEY IS expected to be appointed as England manager on an interim basis ahead of their much-anticipated Uefa Nations League opener against the Republic of Ireland in Dublin next month.

The former Ireland international was long touted as the front-runner to succeed Stephen Kenny as Ireland boss, before the FAI’s protracted search finally ended with the appointment of Heimir Halgrimsson last month.

BBC Sport report that with England’s search for Gareth Southgate’s senior successor ongoing, U21 boss Carsley is expected to be in the dugout for their September double-header against Ireland and Finland.

England visit the Aviva Stadium on 7 September, in what will be Halgrimsson’s first match in charge of Ireland, before the Boys in Green host Greece on 10 September.

    @Daire O’Reilly: he did not become English all of a sudden, he was always English. He played for Ireland because he had an Irish grandmother

    @Daire O’Reilly: he also offered his services to the FAI to coach underage international teams. So did Kilbane. Both weren’t entertained by the then FAI leadership.

    @Square: Gave turkey an away goal at Lansdowne by scooping the ball with his hand for a penalty. We drew 0-0 over there so they went through on away goals. Don’t forget, we were 12 seconds away from qualifying automatically until we conceded a stoppage time bullet header for Macedonia!
