Steven Gerrard, Frank Lampard and Scott Parker set to be in the running to become the next England Under-21 manager... with Lee Carsley to consider his future after this summer's Euros
- Lee Carsley may walk away from his role as England Under-21 boss this summer
- If he leaves, the FA could turn to a former England star to replace him
England Under-21 boss Lee Carsley is set to consider his future after this summer's European Championships.
In the event of Carsley's departure, it is understood Steven Gerrard, Frank Lampard and Scott Parker will be among the coaches the FA sound out over the role.
It has long been the governing body's ambition to draft more former international players under their umbrella.
All three are out work and are likely to consider a position with the U21s if Carsley leaves.
After two years in the role, the former Everton midfielder is ready to consider his involvement with the Football Association beyond the Euros as he contemplates a return to club management.
