Lee Carsley has been appointed as the new head coach of England’s Under-21 team, according to reports. The former Everton midfielder will take charge of the young Lions for their upcoming European Championship campaign.
Carsley, who had a successful playing career with clubs like Coventry City and Birmingham City, has been working as a coach at Manchester City since 2014. He has been praised for his work with the club’s youth teams and is seen as a rising star in coaching circles.
The 47-year-old will replace Aidy Boothroyd, who left his role as England Under-21 manager after the team’s disappointing performance in the European Championship earlier this year. Under Boothroyd’s leadership, England failed to progress past the group stage of the tournament.
