Lee Carsley has ALREADY received a pay rise as England interim manager as FA drop hint on permanent position

UEFA Nations League B

England

Ireland

Carsley took charge of the senior English side as a stop-gap manager after Gareth Southgate resigned from his post following the team's heartbreaking Euro 2024 final defeat against Spain. Carsley was initially brought in to manage the Three Lions for their <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/jack-grealish-returns-man-city-star-given-england-call-up-after-being-left-out-euro-2024-chelsea-hat-trick-hero-noni-madueke-gets-nod-interim-boss-lee-carsley-first-squad/blt257927e458f8656b#cs273e700ead32b7d4" target="_blank">first two Nations League group stage matches</a> in September, but <a href="https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2024/08/30/lee-carsley-england-manager-job-fa-pay-rise/" target="_blank">The Telegraph</a> reports that the FA raised his salary significantly earlier in August, in what could be a hint towards a permanent position.

WHAT HAPPENED?

England play their remaining Nations League group matches in October and November and there is a possibility that Carsley could manage the team at least until November 17 when they face Ireland in their final group game. After that, the team won't be in action until March, which will give the FA plenty of time to take a long-term decision.

The 50-year-old signed a rolling contract last year when he took charge of the Under-21 side. As per his deal, he earlier earned £300,000 annually which is significantly less for a senior team manager. This prompted the FA to hand him a pay rise during his annual contract renewal.

DID YOU KNOW?

Harry Kane and Co. will play their first match since the Euros final on September 7 as they take on Ireland away from home in their opening Nations League clash.
