England Under 21s boss Lee Carsley is set for talks with the Football Association, with his future up in the air after clinching the European Championship.
Carsley, on a rolling 12-month contract, mastermind a first trophy since 1984 and will sit down with technical director John McDermott in a fortnight.
The 49-year-old has not yet made his mind up on next steps, with clubs in the Premier League and Championship keeping track of his record with England.
The FA want Carsley to remain in his post and take on a new group of talent, which is likely to revolve around the likes of Chelsea’s Carney Chukwuemeka and Bristol City’s exciting midfielder Alex Scott.

Morgan Gibbs-White, Curtis Jones and Jacob Ramsey have also impressed FA chiefs, while Anthony Gordon won Player of the Tournament.
