Lee Carsley has been announced as interim manager of the England men's football team. The 50-year-old is following in the footsteps of former Three Lions boss Gareth Southgate by stepping up from his role as coach of England Under-21s. In a statement, Carsley said: "It's an honour to step up and lead this England squad on an interim basis. He will name his first England squad in just under three weeks on 29 August. Former Lincoln centre-back Ben Futcher will lead England Under-21s for their September fixtures.
