footballsoccercoachingEnglandFA

Lee Carsley, the interim manager of England's national football team, has distanced himself from taking the job on a full-time basis, suggesting he would be happy to return to his previous role as the Under-21 boss. Carsley's decision comes after England's surprising 2-1 loss to Greece, which has put a damper on his chances of securing the full-time role as England coach.
