'My future is FA' - Carsley signs deal until 2027

0


England Under-21 head coach Lee Carsley has signed a new contract with the Football Association to run until 2027.

Carsley's future was the subject of speculation during his six-match spell as interim head coach of the England senior team, which ended last November after he led the side to promotion back to the top tier of the Nations League.

The 51-year-old - previously on a 12-month rolling deal - has committed himself to the FA for another two years a week before England attempt to retain the European Under-21 title they won under his guidance in 2023, a feat they last achieved in 1982 and 1984.

The tournament takes place in Slovakia this month, with England's first game against the Czech Republic on 12 June.

"I've just signed an extension. I've got the Euros and then the next campaign. My future is definitely the FA," Carsley said.

When asked if the contract was going to be as U21 head coach or if there was the potential for a job elsewhere in the FA, Carsley replied: "I'll just see how it goes. I think it's important that I just do a good job.

"I am just trying to do it again [win the Euros]. The priority is the Euros and I won't be taking my eye off of that."

The England U21 side is packed with exciting young talent such as Arsenal's Ethan Nwaneri, Tottenham's Archie Gray and Liverpool's Harvey Elliot.
