Carsley’s teams usually set up in either a 4-2-3-1 or a 4-3-3 formation and are instructed to dominate possession, but not in the static way we saw England’s senior side do too often at Euro 2024. His teams consistently look to move forward and a front-footed double pivot is often employed.

At least he has a trophy under his belt, and has worked with some of the senior squad before.
His preferred style of play is different to GS, apparently (fourfourtwo)

I don't think any of the other contenders has a compelling pedigree and he's probably got the most experience in the odd format of internationals, even if it is mostly age grade. His side so far have looked happy to work for him and willing to express themselves on the pitch, and I don't hate that we found an answer to Finland shutting up shop and putting 11 players in the box - yes, it is "only Finland" but it's the kind of hurdle that Southgate's teams used to struggle against (let alone those that came before him).
