England interim coach Carsley confident of FA backing

Carsley asserts that he is fortunate to have the backing of the FA, stating, "I am grateful for the support of the individuals at the helm who are my superiors."

"They know what my strengths are and aren’t gonna ask me to be anything I am not.

"My strength is coaching, being on the pitch. This (talking) isn’t my strength, what I am doing now.

"It’s something that I understand that comes with the job, as I saw yesterday (with the anthem controversy). I have my own way of doing it."
