Carsley remains positive about England job prospects despite Greece defeat- Ansser Sadiq

However, hopes of qualifying for the next round took a massive blow with a 2-1 loss to Greece on home turf.

On the loss, he stated post-game: “'I was quite surprised after the last camp in terms of people saying the job is mine and it is mine to lose and the rest of it (after beating Ireland and Finland).

“My remit has been clear from the start. I am doing three camps, there are three games left and then hopefully I will be going back to the U21s.

“It (the defeat) has no impact. I said at the start I would not rule myself in or out and that is still the case.

“I am more than comfortable in my position where I am. After the first camp I definitely didn't get too excited or believe too much.

“I know this job is one of the best jobs in the world because you actually have a chance of winning in terms of a major competitions and that is still the case.”
