Lee Carsley has revealed that he did not formally apply to become the next England manager after Gareth Southgate’s resignation. The Football Association (FA) advertised for a new manager on July 19 with a closing date of August 2.

Thomas Tuchel, the former Chelsea, Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich head coach was installed as the 4/7 ON favourite with Ladbrokes and Coral to take the permanent position but he has drifted out to 13/8 with William Hill while Pep is 5/1 with Betfred and Carsley is as big as 8/1 with bet365.
