His tenure could be extended depending on how quickly the FA can appoint a permanent successor to Gareth Southgate, who recently stepped down from the role.
“The FA has yet to finalise a permanent replacement for Southgate, and Carsley’s role as interim manager could extend depending on the duration of the search for a new head coach.
The FA has reportedly identified several candidates for the permanent role, but the process of securing Southgate’s successor may take some time.”
