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.
We have a manager now, no need to be concerning ourselves with LCs next move..best of luck to him…hopefully we can make his debut as england manager a miserable one!!
Ironic
Weird how he became English all of a sudden we weren’t as good as we used to be
@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
@John Buckley: that was my entire point. Nothing goes past you John
@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.
@Daire O’Reilly: if that was your point, then why did you say something completely different?
@Daire O’Reilly: that was certainly not your point. Everything goes past you Daire
Good luck to him. Btw, thanks Lee for knocking us out of Euro 2000. Top man.
@Tezmond McVicar: haha harsh!
@SYaxJ2Ts: Had to get that out of the system lol
@Tezmond McVicar: cant remember that far back what did he do john
@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!
@Tezmond McVicar: it wasn’t carsley fkd us up then it was Macedonia .was a embarrassment
fair play. gets to work with a team that will compete at major finals.
@Niall English: English by name…
