Lee Carsley, the interim manager of the England national team, has secured two victories during the international window, with wins over Ireland and Finland in the Nations League. Despite his successful stint, the FA is still searching for a permanent manager to lead the team moving forward.
The Telegraph reports that Carsley is a potential candidate to replace Gareth Southgate, but the FA is also considering other options. Among those in contention are Eddie Howe, Graham Potter, and Frank Lampard, each bringing their own credentials to the table.
Pep Guardiola, currently under contract with Manchester City until the end of the season, is viewed as the ideal candidate for the role. His potential appointment would be seen as a major coup for England, though it remains uncertain whether he will extend his stay at City or depart after this season. Jurgen Klopp and Mauricio Pochettino, once considered prestigious options, have been ruled out, with Klopp having declined the opportunity and Pochettino now committed to a role in the United States.
Despite the ongoing search for a permanent manager, Carsley remains a strong contender for the job, especially after garnering support from players due to his more open and engaging style of play compared to his predecessor.
