Lee Carsley reportedly doesn’t want to be the permanent successor to Gareth Southgate as England manager.
The former Everton and Birmingham City midfielder is on secondment from his role as under-21’s boss to take interim charge of the senior national team while the Football Association look for a new head coach.
Despite minimal experience as a first-team manager, Carsley is considered one of the favourites to get the job by the bookmakers. He guided the Three Lions to victory in his first two games against the Republic of Ireland and Finland, before losing to Greece on Thursday.
The 50-year-old, whose spell is due to end after the November internationals, has “left members of the England set-up convinced” that he doesn’t want to take the reins “long term”, according to The Telegraph.
