Luis de la Feunte may be a household name in Spain after lifting the Henry Delauney trophy in Berlin, but the 63-year-old is not widely recognized as a coaching galactico. Nonetheless, the success of Lionel Scaloni, who was not a big name, as an international manager is indisputable, indicating that a high profile is not a prerequisite for success in the role. Qualities like positivity and familiarity with the players, as demonstrated by Carsley’s achievements, appear to be pivotal for managing international teams at any age level before taking on the senior role.

Thus, it seems logical to consider promoting from within the country when searching for a suitable manager for the national team. There also seems to be an abundance of capable English managers who could potentially excel in the role of the England national football team manager. Considering this, it is suggested that the position should not demand a hefty salary, especially since qualifying for major tournaments has become increasingly routine.

In considering a suitable candidate for the England manager’s role, emphasis should be placed on the ability to organize a talented group of players into a competitive team for tournament play. With a proven track record in achieving this, Carsley emerges as a strong contender for the position.
