Lee Carsley is England's first 'tracksuit manager' for almost a quarter of a century - and the contrasts with his predecessor don't end there, writes Rob Dorsett.
Lee Carsley is England's first 'tracksuit manager' for almost a quarter of a century - and the contrasts with his predecessor, the smartly-dressed Gareth Southgate, don't end there. Kevin Keegan - back in the year 2000 - was probably the last England manager who was as hands-on as Carsley. Keegan used to be the primary voice in training and lead the sessions.
But it will be fascinating to see how Carsley tries to blend the old and the new, the experienced with the newbies, as he tries to find a successful blend in his first England team. He has promised to lean on the strong spine of this England squad that served Southgate's England so well - and it is very likely that Jordan Pickford, Declan Rice and Kane will start Carsley's first game in charge in Dublin.
