England Under-21 head coach Lee Carsley has extended his contract with the Football Association until 2027. His future was uncertain after an interim role with the senior team. Carsley aims to defend the European Under-21 title this month, having previously led them to victory in 2023. However, he faces challenges, including potential key player absences due to transfers. Carsley remains focused on the Euros, emphasizing doing a good job regardless of future roles within the FA, highlighting the young talent within the team.
If you're not willing to sacrifice everything, you've already lost before you start. That’s my mindset going into this Euros.
My future is definitely the FA, I've just signed an extension. 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 Elliott.
Preparation has not been all plain sailing for Carsley, with striker Liam Delap near certain to miss the tournament due to a move to Chelsea.
