“It makes sense for me to guide the team while The FA continues the process of recruiting a new manager. My main priority is to ensure continuity, and our goal is to secure promotion in the UEFA Nations League,” he said.

The 50-year-old will lead England in their September matches against the Republic of Ireland and Finland, with the FA confirming that he will remain in the role “while the recruitment process for a new permanent head coach continues.”

Carsley is set to name his first England squad on 29 August.
