Lee Carsley has been appointed interim England manager for September's Nations League games as the Football Association continues to search for Gareth Southgate's permanent successor.
The 50-year-old has stepped up from his role as England Under-21 boss to replace Southgate, who resigned two days after defeat by Spain in the Euro 2024 final last month.
"As I am very familiar with the players and the cycle of international football, it makes sense for me to guide the team while the FA continues the process to recruit a new manager," said Carsley.
"My main priority is to ensure continuity and our goal is to secure promotion in the Uefa Nations League.”
Carsley is a former Premier League midfielder who played for clubs including Derby and Everton in a 17-year career.
He moved into management and took charge of Coventry, Brentford and Birmingham on a caretaker basis before becoming England Under-20 coach in 2020.
Carsley soon became boss of England Under-21s and led them to the European Championship title in 2023 as they won the competition for the first time in 39 years.
