A former Coventry City and Everton footballer, who now lives in Kenilworth, is set to become the next England Under-21 manager according to radio station talkSPORT.

The station is claiming that former midfielder Lee Carsley will replace former Coventry City boss Aidy Boothroyd, who left the under-21 role in April.

Boothroyd stepped down following England's poor performance at the European Under-21 Championship this year, where his side finished bottom of their group.

Carsley has been manager of the England under-20s since September 2020. He has also been a coach at Coventry, Sheffield United, Manchester City, and Brentford.

The 47-year-old spent most of his playing career at Everton, as well as two stints at Coventry, and a two-year spell at rivals Birmingham City.

Carsley, who was raised in Sheldon in Birmingham, played 40 times for the Republic of Ireland.

The FA is yet to officially confirm who will replace Boothroyd.
